I have spent two weeks to verify the testing part in different testing environments include of kernel: mdadm: filesystem: SUSE 12 SP2 Enterprise mdadm 4.0 source code ext3, ext4 and btrfs linux upstream 4.10 mdadm 4.0 ext3, ext4 and btrfs According to the two weeks' testing and my understanding, my first step has done to redraft the 'test' script, as my purpose, I mainly made it easier to read, added some important checking I thought and changed some func(). After the 'test' file has done, the second part is to improve every case under tests/ folder. The 'tests/check' and 'tests/testdev' files would be deleted after finish the testing part improvement. I have added comments in the RFC patch, I wanna ask for all ideas about the testing improvement in the mailing-list, would you have any suggestion? Thanks very much, -Zhilong
