    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations that do not support block
    special devices.

    The test suite requires that the configuration variable,
    VSU_FILE_SYS, be set to the absolute pathname of a block special
    file which can be mounted as a filesystem. This works for us in
    all of the tests which need to mount a file system - basically
    because we were given the ability to write our own mount
    routines. It doesn't work for the lstat() test purposes
    mentioned above. This is due to the fact that we do not have a
    block special filetype implemented on our system.

    I looked through the SPEC 1170 book and could find no section on
    block special files (unlike STREAMS, which has a descriptive
    section). mknod() supports the creation of block special files
    (S_IFBLK) but declares this "non-portable".

    When we ran into block special device issues in the VSX test
    suite they granted us TSD4.213. I believe these tests are the
    only tests in the suite which require true block special files.
