I have posted the patch for ocfs2-test on the test mailing list.

While coding the test, I discovered that the problem does not occur
for sparse,inline-data. I thought it might be because it is the first
test in the series so I changed the order and confirmed that the test
does not fail for sparse,inline-data. Any ideas?
