Yeah ;) but this time I wanted 0 for a change. Oops indeed.

So, why does 5.10.208-xfstests warn but 5.10.226-1 doesn’t?

(It *does* warn about r1 128-byte-inode ones.)

Yeah, but I switched to bullseye and will stick with that, so.

They can also do nōn-emergency fixes with the next point update.

Anyway *I* became aware of it due to seeing the kernel warning by

does NOT show up, for me, on r0 fs so it was a combination of circum‐
stances here ☻ mostly me wanting to write something that can check
all my systems…)
