No, it's char *const argv[] passed to execvp() in tst_cmd_fds_(), which does the
separation. Adding spaces on the contrary causes failure (equivalent of
mkfs.vfat " -I " ...).

Have I overlooked introduced regression? It works, only it needs to add " "
space for formatting output, but functionality works, adding tested file.

Kind regards,
Petr

Testing file:

#include "tst_test.h"
#define MOUNT_POINT "mount_ext"

static void do_test(void)
{
	tst_res(TPASS, "here");
}

static struct tst_test test = {
	.test_all = do_test,
	.mount_device = 1,
	.mntpoint = MOUNT_POINT,
	.needs_root = 1,
	.dev_fs_type = "vfat",
	.dev_fs_opts = (const char *const []){"-v", NULL},
};
