Thank you for the report, 042 is a known issue, IIRC, the reason is f2fs
will flush inode page with last i_size in ioctl(F2FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN, 0x01),
but 042 expects an zero-sized inode. So I supposed it happened due to the
different semantics of metadata flushing between f2fs and xfs.

For 009, I haven't saw it failed for long time, did you test with last f2fs?

Thanks,
