Hi folks,
As requested I've created a new mailing list for xfstests
development and discussion. Reflecting the fact that the test
harness is not really XFS specific anymore, the list is:
fstests@vger.kernel.org
I have not confirmed an archiving location yet (in the process of
doing so through marc.info), but that should be set up real soon.
I'll still be listening in on the XFS list for xfstests patches, bug
reports and questions, so don't worry if you forget this new list
exists... :)
Cheers,
Dave.

Isn't there an "x" missing somewhere?

It's intentional and it is "Reflecting the fact that the test
harness is not really XFS specific anymore", even though the test
suite itself keep the name xfstests.
This way it's more obvious to people that this is in fact not xfs
specific.

Having the name different from the project it is for is stupid. Either
rename the test suite, or use the same name for the mailing list.

Renaming the test suite is a good option if we can agree on this.

Instead of renaming the test suite, why not just "backronym" it to mean
something different? The letter x is used to mean "cross" in many
contexts, so "xfstests" could easily mean "cross-filesystem tests" - a
name that fits perfectly!
Only kind of joking,
Calvin.

Or maybe "extended file system tests", if people really are concerned
about the naming. Seriously, is this really that important to folks?

Renaming the test suite take a lot more work - .e.g renaming/moving
source trees and a fixing all the documentation that points to it...
So, small steps.
Cheers,
Dave.

In that case please call the list xfstests - a name different by a
single character is utterly confusing. And I defintively see some merit
to the suggestion that we'll just keep the x and allow people to come up
with a nice backronym for it if they care enough.

What is important is that we have a separate list for the filesystem
test suite we use, not whether the name has an "x" in or not.
Arguing about whether there should or should not be an 'x' in the
mailing list name is just a waste of time - it's not going to make
me change the name of the list....
Cheers,
Dave.

Why not eliminate the "x" entirely?
In my testings, I used xfstests-suite for testing Ext4-FS.
(My intention is not to hurt any XFS developers...).
