The dm-log-writes replay mechanism issues discards to provide zeroing functionality to prevent out-of-order replay issues. These discards don't always result in zeroing bevavior, however, depending on the underlying physical device. In turn, this causes test failures on XFS v5 filesystems that enforce metadata log recovery ordering if the filesystem ends up with stale data from the future with respect to the active log at a particular recovery point. To ensure reliable discard zeroing behavior, use a thinly provisioned volume as the data device instead of using the scratch device directly. This slows the test down slightly, but provides reliable functional behavior at a reduced cost from active snapshot management or forced zeroing.
