Steve,
I just took a look at the cmd/xfstests/README and it looks like the process is
well documented.
I will download the whole set and first verify the test system runs on my
system, then try to put together a new test for snapshots.
The readme talks about the user providing 2 partitions, one with xfs on it, and
one scratch.
I assume I should use the scratch partition to build a lvm structure on, then
format it with xfs.
One high level question, at the start of the test I assume I should check for
the correct installation of LVM and error out if it is not available.
Is that a reasonable behavior?
Even higher level, as I have questions, should I ask them on the list, or is
there a QA person there I should e-mail directly.
Greg
