Discussion topics for the coming Bake-A-Thon

Discussion topics for the coming Bake-A-Thon

[Sorin Faibish]

All,

I am trying to build an agenda for discussions during the coming  
Bake-A-Thon
at EMC October 4-8. I collected the last week several topics of interest  
and
I want to ask you all to add any other topics of interest so I can close  
the
agenda of the event. This is the list so far:

1. Layoutcommit for file layout (Dave Noveck)
2. Server side copy - (James)
3. Sparse files and storage preferences (Dean, Sorin)
4. Secure NFS (David Quigly)
5. Extend cthon tests with callback operations tests (Peter Honeyman)
6. Performance tests - tools and benchmarks (Peter Honeyman)
7. Utils and fedora rpm (Sorin, SteveD)
8. pNFS with IPv6 (Sorin)
9. Linux FedFS imlementation (Chuck)

I will allocate 30min for each topic and group them in 2 hours sessions
mostly in the early PM after lunch.

Please feel free to add any additional topics and thank you for your  
patience.

/Sorin

     And local/remote truncate torture tests.

to 6 or 5. Cluster tests. .i.e use of more then one client in concertration
to confuse and crash a server.

Sure. Do we need a separate discussion or only this?

This aside from cthon, just for performance qaulification for the git.
Same do we need an additional spot or this is enough (30 min).

I will update the agenda with your comments and I assume you will be
part of the discussion, even drive it.

No, Just add to 6 or 5. I'll ping "Peter Honeyman" on what do we want
to put on here. Peter?

One subject I would like to see us address as a community is where we go
with respect to our general testing strategy. We have had discussions the
last several years at the Connectathons about the ability to contribute to the
cthon test suites and the legal status of the code.

Basically, because of the lack of understanding of the licensing, I believe
companies are not contributing changes back into the shared code base.

We can talk about what it would take to get the license straightened out,
but it might be more expedient to acknowledge that the cthon test suite is
a low bar and drive the creation of a new test suite.

I think this is an excellent suggestion.  Regardless of the way we
decide to go on this, I think it is important that we do something.
