http://pastebin.com/raw/YPGG6usG is the reproduction script.
In virtualbox it actually passes. Maybe this really is a problem with
the disk driver for vmware?
** Description changed:
I've been trying this on several platforms -
16.04 physical host
16.04 VMware
17.04 vmware
The script pasted below creates a virtual disk, writes a partition
table, creates an fs and some thin pools, then verifies that writes
happened as expected.
On 16.04 physical host it seems to be working (though I do need to
manually dmremove the devices as seen in cleanup(), else a second run
fails).
On the VMware hosted vms, the mkfs.ext4 fails to find nbd0p1: "The file
/dev/nbd0p1 does not exist and no size was specified."
- (I've had other - corruption - issues which are what I was trying to track
down with this test script, but it's possible, not certain, that those all boil
down to having to manually dmremove the devices)
