Subject: [PATCH 0/3] moving test trash directories
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2009 04:35:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090809083518.GA8147@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
This series adds support for making trash directories for the test
scripts outside of the usual hierarchy. The main benefit is improved
performance. By putting the trash directories onto a tmpfs (rather than
SATA disks), my "make -j32 test" time went from around 1m51s to around
1m01s. I can only imagine what improvement it would have for people on
NFS. :)
It also has the nice side effect that running the test suite doesn't
thrash your disk as much, in case you wanted to do something else while
it was running.
[1/3] tests: use "$TEST_DIRECTORY" instead of ".."
[2/3] tests: provide $TRASH_DIRECTORY variable
[3/3] tests: allow user to specify trash directory location
