Hello file system developers, There are several POSIX file system test suites: closed source, commercial, one which needs reading 174 pages installation guide, etc. Because of these frustrations when Pawel Jakub Dawidek ported ZFS to FreeBSD, he also wrote such a test suite quickly. Last year the NTFS-3G team ported it to Linux/ext3 and Linux/NTFS-3G to validate Jean-Pierre Andre's full file permissions and ownership support for NTFS-3G. We sent our patches to Pawel for integration but this doesn't seem to happen him (he didn't see problems but is busy). Since this topic regularly appears on several lists, we are also often asked about it and NTFS-3G does need it to be maintained, hence we decided to release it and if nobody else would like to maintain it then we will do so. The test suite mostly checks POSIX compliance and works for FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux with UFS, ZFS, ext3, and NTFS-3G file systems. The list of system calls tested is: chmod, chown, link, mkdir, mkfifo, open, rename, rmdir, symlink, truncate, unlink. There are currently 1950 regression tests. Availability: http://ntfs3g.org/sw/qa/pjd-fstest-20080402.tgz and in the NTFS-3G CVS as pjd-fstest module: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=181143 The usage is extremely simple: # tar czf pjd-fstest-20080402.tgz # cd pjd-fstest-20080402 # vi tests/conf Change 'fs' to file system type you want to test (UFS, ZFS, ext3, ntfs-3g). # make It will compile fstest utility which is used by regression tests. # cd /path/to/file/system/you/want/to/test/ The test must be run as root user and requires a few basic Perl modules. # prove -r /path/to/fstest/ It's also possible to run individual set of tests: # /path/to/fstest/tests/chown/00.t Or make single system call tests: # fstest mkdir foo 0750 0 # fstest mkdir foo 0750 mkdir returned -1 EEXIST The test suite is easy to understand, modify and extend. For instance doing a test cases for the above examples is only expect 0 fstest mkdir foo 0750 expect EEXIST fstest mkdir foo 0750 The default file system type is ext3 and it passes all tests. NTFS-3G also passes all the tests if the latest PERMISSION_HANDLING_BRANCH CVS branch is used with the below UserMapping file placed in the .NTFS-3G control directory: ---------------------------------------------------------------> :500:S-1-5-21-2271520284-214583110-2989893066-513 500::S-1-5-21-2271520284-214583110-2989893066-1007 # default mapping pattern ::S-1-5-21-2271520284-214583110-2989893066-10000 <-------------------------------------------------------------- Many thanks to Pawel Jakub Dawidek for writing this fantastic test suite, to Jean-Pierre Andre for tirelessly working on the port and fixing countless file system problems over the last half year and to Szeredi Miklos for his exceptionally rapid FUSE fixes.
