Motivation and Context

cp_files_002_pos fails 26 out of 500 times

The $RANDOM count argument to dd can be zero sometimes leading to spurious errors.

Description

Example failing log:

11:25:52.09 SUCCESS: zpool sync testpool
11:25:52.10 SUCCESS: dd if=/dev/urandom of=src.data bs=2048 seek=240 count=0 conv=notrunc
11:25:52.13 ERROR: cp --reflink=always src.data dst.data unexpectedly exited 0

Overwriting with dd ... count=0 does not exercise any code, so then cp --reflink=always spuriously succeeds because it does not test anything.

The fix is to adjust sizes so that $RANDOM yielding zero does not affect the test outcome.

How Has This Been Tested?

Ran cp_files_002_pos 500 times with zero failures.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Performance enhancement (non-breaking change which improves efficiency)
  • Code cleanup (non-breaking change which makes code smaller or more readable)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

Checklist:
