[LTP] [RFC] Remove disktest from LTP

[Petr Vorel]

Hi,

does anybody use testcases/kernel/io/disktest ?

It supports various OS, but not sure if it's relevant now in SSD era.
Last update was in 2008 (version 1.4.2).
It's not in any runtest file thus not being run by default.

I'd either delete it. Or, if still useful, I'd put it into separate project
under https://github.com/linux-test-project.

Kind regards,
Petr

Personally, I have never touched them at all.
So it's fine for me to drop it.

I don't think I ever used it, it does look outdated, so I won't miss it.
If it has upstream repo somewhere, we could put a reference in commit
message.

I say nuke it from orbit.

It exists in VCS still, so if someone wants to restore it and work on it, they can go back through the git history and do so.

I have not found the original project in sourceforge. Would you please post a
link, I'll add it to the commit message of the removal commit.

Kind regards,
Petr

I honestly don?t know where it came from :/?

My comment was more the fact that it exists in the LTP github repo, which means (even after it?s deleted), it can be restored.
