# Warning for UDF and NFS:
# this function calls _setup_udf_scratchdir and _setup_udf_scratchdir
# which actually uses the scratch dir for the test dir.
#
# This was done because testdir was intended to be a persistent
# XFS only partition.  This should eventually change, and treat
# at least local filesystems all the same.

I think that this means that the way _setup_testdir uses the scratch
device was a nasty hack and was intended to be fixed at some point.
Perhaps we should actually understand the issue that lead to this
hack first, and then determine what is needed to fix it rather than
just layering more hacks on top of it?

I don't really care about how invasive fixing the problem
properly is if it's the better long term solution....

Cheers,
