xfstests, the XFS QA suite, covers functional and regression testing of
XFS specific features and some general stress and regression testing.
Descriptions of each test are included in the header of the test.

We pull tests from a large set of test software, including open and
closed source tests.

We do some "pull the plug" testing as needed. That kind of testing
doesn't automate too well and takes up a lot of time.

Test what you need to verify that your application/product works
correctly. Also, if you come up with some tests of general use, please
contribute them to the Linux Test Project.

XFS 1.0 does work with LVM, as does 1.0.1. The next release, 1.0.2,
will use LVM 1.0.1rc4.

This is an internal SGI test suite. It has not been open sourced yet
and there are not resources available to open source it. Perhaps if you
could give my management some incentive to release them, they could be
made available.

Major problems vary from person to person. I would suggest looking
through all the "TAKE" messages in the mailing list since 1.0 and decide
if any of those fixes affect your product.
