See http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/101_qa.html for a description of what
testing is done.

We use a number of open source tests including but not limited to the following:
connectathon (connectathon.org)
bonnie
Linux Test Project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ltp/)
iozone
lmbench (http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/get_lmbench.html)
We also use a number of tests that are not currently open source.
>3. What suggestions you can give me on my testing? Such as what kind of
>testing is my focus? is functional testing ( basic file system functionlity +

>4. Is xfs release 1.0 work with LVM?
Yes, for more information on 1.0 look at the 1.0 release announcement
at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/mail_archive/0105/msg00001.html
>5. Do you have Regression Test System(RTS) test suite, I know it from XFS
>Linux Quality Assurance page. Where can I get them?
Some of these tests from RTS are included in the tests from the Linux Test
Project
mentioned above.
>6. Is there any major problem with xfs release 1.0?
I know of some NFS panics that were fixed in later releases.
