[LU-359] Confused error message after write failure

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:19:48 +0000

The issues were found in sanity-quota test. When application writes failed for out of quota (-EDQUOT), it will close the file and exit. But the close returns "-EIO" related with former write failure, like that:

The message of "dd: closing output file `/mnt/lustre/d0.sanity-quota/d1/f1-1': Input/output error" is confused, which is quite different from "dd" against local FS output. The expected output should be:
