The self-contained and reproducible environment can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.jquigley.com/tmp/xfsVM.tar.bz2 That's a ~550 MB (compressed) image that can be 'imported' directly into the latest VirtualBox. Instructions for setting up the environment (trivial, should take you a mere couple of minutes): http://www.jquigley.com/tmp/README.txt The basic concept here is to use the VM as the file server, accessing the XFS file system thereon through the guest OS which acts as the NFS client. Automated reboots are effected with cron and sysrq 'b', so you can just set this up and run it until failure. Hope this helps lend insight - if there are any questions, please ask. Thanks for your time. - John Quigley _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
