I was off-line for a few days. Most of the AdvFS tests are targeted to features that were somewhat unique to AdvFS. I think that when the tests are ported to test a Linux file system that has similar features, such as btrfs, it will make sense for those tests to be added to the LTP. So from an LTP perspective, I think its the derivative work that's most interesting. -- ljk > > Regards-- > Subrata > >>> We would like to know if you would be interested to contribute these >>> test cases to the Linux Test Project (http://ltp.sourceforge.net/) under >>> GPLv2 with somebody sending the Patch with a DCO Signoff.
