The biggest problem in my opinion is that we have a large set of options, and we don't necessarily test all of them. The options that I normaly test is * 4k blocksize, with journal, extents * 1k blocksize, with journal, extents (this helps flush out problems that show up architectures with 16k page size and 4k block sizes, i.e., Power PC and Itanium) * 4k blocksize, no journal Things that I should also test, but which take a lot longer: * nodelalloc (and combinatorics, 4k/1k blocksize, journal) * filesystem with extents disabled (with more combinatorics!) I'll sometimes do these additional tests, but they're not part of my regular test sets. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
