Hi,

I'm reading the source code of generic/044 in xfstests, and I cannot figure out the
difference compared with 043 testcase:

        let i=$i+1
 done


But before the 'truncate 64K', only 64K sized files are created:
                 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -b 64k -S 0xff 0 64k" $file > /dev/null
So I think it's useless here, or some typo e.g smaller truncate needed?
