[PATCH 0/3] moving test trash directories

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds support for making trash directories for the test
scripts outside of the usual hierarchy. The main benefit is improved
performance. By putting the trash directories onto a tmpfs (rather than
SATA disks), my "make -j32 test" time went from around 1m51s to around
1m01s. I can only imagine what improvement it would have for people on
NFS.  :)

It also has the nice side effect that running the test suite doesn't
thrash your disk as much, in case you wanted to do something else while
it was running.

  [1/3] tests: use "$TEST_DIRECTORY" instead of ".."
  [2/3] tests: provide $TRASH_DIRECTORY variable
  [3/3] tests: allow user to specify trash directory location
