Pointers to Btrfs Testplan/Testcases

Hi,

I'm preparing/consolidating Btrfs testplan. Other than the testscripts available under
btrfs-progs/tests repo (found https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_btrfs 
but its mainly for Installation) any pointers to wiki/testopia etc which 
will provide more details on it? thanks! 


Cheers,

As you suggest, the btrfs-progs tests are primarily to verify userspace 
functionality after build; they aren't really designed for the more 
general case.  For that, btrfs, along with ext4 and of course xfs, now 
use xfstests, which isn't just for xfs any more.  In addition to the 
general filesystem functionality tests, xfstests contains a full suite of 
btrfs-specific tests for btrfs-specific functionality, and patches to 
xfstests to catch new btrfs regressions should they occur again are not 
only routinely seen on this list, but are often actively requested, if 
not originally posted along with the patches fixing whatever btrfs bugs.  
If you search the list archive on xfstests you'll see many examples.

I didn't know that xfstests covers more than xfs. Will look into their 
repo for btrfs specific cases. thanks for the response.
