Hi, Jes; This patchset mainly focus on improving the 'test' script, rip it apart and put it together in a more coherent form. Over 3 months passed, the RFC patch of improving 'test' hadn't received any ideas, thus I post this sample version that I have tested many times. It's just the beginning to improve the test part of mdadm, any questions is very welcome. Sorry for that, I haven't added the function suggested from Guoqing, cut the words from the email tree of "ANNOUNCE: mdadm 4.0 - A tool for managing md Soft RAID under Linux": Guoqing asked: ... Is current test can run the test for different raid level, say, "./test --raidtype=raid1" could execute all the *r1* tests, does it make sense to do it if we don't support it now. ... Just list this suggestion here, waiting for ideas. RFC patch mail-tree: [PATCH RFC] test: revise 'test' and make it easier to understand Acked-by: Neil Brown And suggest to split those changing into smaller patches from Guoqing.
