tests: df/total-verify: avoid test failure with older Perl
Ironically, I might not be able to test this one. I expect perl's 'make
check' to fail which will avoid it being installed on AIX; every other
box now has 5.10.0 as I got sick of inconsistent, outdated, or outright
missing perl for coreutils' 'make check' ;-). (Except for Irix, but that
one didn't have the problem. However AIX does, so I think I will still
be able to verify there, but that's one of the slower machines.)
Anyway I'm intending to do another run, but I first need to generate a
usable no-decl-after-stmt patch. (I'm assuming you didn't update it?)
Well that was interesting. IIRC there were other 'perl -f' failures,
were those similarly addressed? Anyway, I got a different (but not
unreasonable) failure:
FAIL: df/total-verify
+ perl check-df space
5845627536 != 5845627534 at check-df line 14, <> line 19.
+ fail=1
...which means the test fails if something else writes to the disk while
the test is running :-).
