I guess it could be. It's a truncation check so I figured just
checking if the amount of bytes actually copied was less than the
total would suffice.

Gotcha, in which case we could use the "%.*s" format specifier which
allows for a length argument. Does something like this look better?

With https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git/about/

but using scripts + image from: https://github.com/tytso/xfstests-bld

here's the output log: https://pastebin.com/V2gFhbNZ wherein I ran the
5 default ones (I think?):

|        Ran: generic/475 generic/476 generic/521 generic/522 generic/642
|        Passed all 5 tests

Thanks
Justin
