Comment 15 for bug 982421

If you like, you could probably set this up to fail yourself :)

It would be a matter of creating a loopback ext4 filesystem, and mounting it with the barrier option for your .local/me-tv path.

Don't quote me ( completely untested and unfounded... I've likely made errors ), but something along these lines:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/ext4fs bs=512k count=100

mkfs -t ext4 /tmp/ext4fs

mount -o loop /tmp/ext4fs -t ext4 /home/xxx/.local/me-tv
