[Xen-devel] [OSSTEST PATCH 5/6] ts-xen-build-prep: mkfs a new /home/osstest, don't resize2fs



Online resize is 40x slower than mkfs.  It appears that the
backgrounded resize2fs can starve build tasks of IO bandwidth.

So instead, use mkfs to make a new filesystem for /home/osstest.
We use rsync to copy in the old contents.

For convenience of (a) review (b) possible reversion, we keep (for
now) the lvextend machinery.  So we create a new 1-extent LV for the
lvextend machinery to work on.

But we don't call resize2fs when we extend it, because now it doesn't
have a fs on it yet.  We make the filesystem later.

We move the ccache_setup until after this is done because it's a bit
pointless to put things in the to-be-removed /home/osstest when they
could be put in the new one after it had been set up.

We take slight care to make the rune slightly idempotent: if it
completed successfully we detect this and do not run it again.  But if
it didn't, things may be messed up and running it again is unlikely to
help and may make things worse.

I have tested this on rice-weevil and the whole new target command
(including rsync, mkfs, mount etc.) takes 126s.
