The new lines (below) in xfs_check.sh breaks older xfstests:

   xfs_check is deprecated and scheduled for removal in June 2014.
   Please use xfs_repair -n <dev> instead.

xfstests' ./check thinks the TEST directory is inconsistent and stops.
I simply commented the lines out of the installed /usr/sbin/xfs_check
for my tests.

FSTYP         -- xfs (debug)
PLATFORM      -- Linux/x86_64 host 3.9.0-rc1+
MKFS_OPTIONS  -- -f -bsize=4096 {SCRATCH_DEV}
MOUNT_OPTIONS -- {SCRATCH_DEV} {SCRATCH_MNT}

_check_xfs_filesystem: filesystem on {TEST_DEV} is inconsistent (c) (see 
check.full)
Passed all 0 tests

--Mark.
