Feel free to file bugs or send mail. Tests should pass. Sometimes it's a test bug, though, of course ;) > Our initial questions are: > > 1.

Any test which says _supported_fs generic or _supported_fs ext4 can run on ext4, and should in theory pass. I think there are about 100 of them by now. There is a "dangerous" group (see groups file) which contains test nrs that might stop testing via a hang or panic. But don't skip those by default; newer kernels with those bugs fixed _should_ pass them too. > 3.

We've been encouraging new tests to be written for xfstests lately, and it's gotten a good amount of traction. There certainly may be other things out there, though. -Eric > Test results can be found at: > http://kernel.ubuntu.com/testing/index.html > > > Thanks > Brad > -- 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
