Description
After https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-python/pull/1271, we have to xfail a number of cufile tests in CI that run on an ext4 filesystem even though that is nominally supported.
It would be good to figure out what's going on here and why these don't work in CI even though they are running on an ext4 filesystem.

Research direction
Start by reviewing pull request #1271 and the cufile tests that are xfailed in CI on ext4. Reproduce or inspect the CI behavior to determine why ext4 fails despite nominal support; done means the failure is explained and the tests no longer require unnecessary xfails, or the remaining limitation is documented.
