Hum, I have some scripts I use for testing of quota but it's nothing
too clever. What exactly would you like to test? What generally needs to be
tested from filesystem POV (since I guess that's what you're interested in)
is whether quota accounting matches the real usage. So what I do is:
run the load I want to check
quotaoff -vu $mntpoint
repquota -u $mntpoint | sed -ne '6,$p' | tr -s ' ' | sort >before_check
quotacheck -vu $mntpoint
repquota -u $mntpoint | sed -ne '6,$p' | tr -s ' ' | sort >after_check
diff before_check after_check >/dev/null || echo "Quota usage differs!"
For "load I want to check" I usually use fsstress, fsx-linux or similar
programs.
Oh, and when I want to be nasty, I also test load like:
as root do:
while true; do
BLOCKLIMIT=$minblimit+$((RANDOM%($maxblimit-$minblimit)))
INODELIMIT=$minilimit+$((RANDOM%($maxilimit-$minilimit)))
setquota -u testuser 0 $BLOCKLIMIT 0 $INODELIMIT $mntpoint
sleep 1
done
as testuser do:
while true; do tar xzf some_larger_archive.tar.gz; rm -rf archive; done
Possibly you might also want to run 'sync' in parallel once in a while to
make the mix more interesting. The point is to test whether allocation
failure paths work right...
