Regression/functional test suite?

I am watching the btrfs project with great interest and looking
forward to the blessing of the final on-disk format (which I
understand is coming soon) and giving it a spin in my test
environment. Like so many others I have been disappointed that the
very impressive ZFS filesystem isn't available on Linux in any
meaningful way and see btrfs as the way around this and ultimately a
better choice. Hopefully btrfs has learned from ZFS and can leapfrog
it in some areas.

This leads me to a question: I have been following this list for a
while and have not see anyone mention any sort of regression testing
or automated functional test suite being run against btrfs. This would
seem to be critically important for something like a filesystem. Does
it exist?

I have access to a large amount of disk storage and storage systems
and would be happy to dedicate a machine with a significant amount of
disk in various configurations to do constant functional testing of
btrfs. I know you may already such resources since the project is
supported by Oracle etc. but I want to do whatever I can to help
things along. I'm more of a system administrator than a C coder or
filesystem expert so I can't offer code but perhaps I can help in
another material way.
