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.
The whole test infrastructure is something I would like to see
rewamped and modernized, so you starting to work on this is excellent.
With regard to your question, then having an option to say 'run all
raid1 tests' is probably good, we should have that for all raid
levels, imsm, and ddf.
I also would like to see a more flexible way to configure the tests,
like it should be possible to specify a bunch of physical devices for
the tests, instead of relying on loop devices.
I would send another sample version once complete your suggestions.
Thanks for your ideas.
Welcome various requirements during I'm doing this.
Thanks,
-Zhilong
Cheers,
Jes
