xfstest btrfs/023 which does the following tests
create_group_profile "raid0"
check_group_profile "RAID0"
create_group_profile "raid1"
check_group_profile "RAID1"
create_group_profile "raid10"
check_group_profile "RAID10"
create_group_profile "raid5"
check_group_profile "RAID5"
create_group_profile "raid6"
check_group_profile "RAID6"
fails randomly with the error as below
ERROR: device scan failed '/dev/sde' - Invalid argument
since failure is at random group profile it indicates to me that
btrfs kernel did not see the newly created btrfs on the device
To note: I have the following patch on the kernel which
is not yet integrated, but its not related to this bug.
btrfs: RFC: code optimize use btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() at btrfs_scan_one_device
btrfs: looping 'mkfs.btrfs -f <dev>' may fail with EBUSY
btrfs: check generation as replace duplicates devid+uuid
This patch calls fsync() at btrfs_prepare_device().
With this btrfs/023 has NOT failed consistently for several long
iterations.
