Is there a way to stop the lustre test suite from reformating the disk when we run our test?

In recent releases (the last 9-12 months or so) it doesn''t reformat the filesystem by default. I _think_ (but don''t recall for sure anymore) that it is also possible to specify REFORMAT="" so that it will not reformat. Some tests, like conf-sanity.sh depend on being able to reformat, and can be run with a local config that just uses loopback files.

Instead it uses NOFORMAT instead.> Some tests, like conf-sanity.sh depend on being able to reformat, and can be > run with a local config that just uses loopback files.Yes I noticed.
