The failing test does not use a device so this probably won't help. I tried updating the test to use losetup, but it turns out losetup does not work with lxc. It seems that O_DIRECT on tmpfs is a know problem and other software like mysql also doesn't work on tmpfs. There were some kernel patches to allow O_DIRECT on tmpfs, but they were probably not accepted. Perhaps it be possible not to use tmpfs for $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP, or was that the goal in the first place? -- Valentin
