The tests in this directory where written at the same time tmpfs was
|
||
|
developed. This is why, if you follow the order of tests in the Atffile,
|
||
|
you will notice that they start checking the most basic things and end
|
||
|
checking the less common ones. Furthermore, tests try not to use features
|
||
|
tested by further tests in the lists.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, the above is not the most appropriate testing procedure when you
|
||
|
have a working file system because some separation in test programs does
|
||
|
not make sense afterwards.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Many of the tests here are applicable to any file system. They should be
|
||
|
refactored to be reusable on any mounted file system, which could also
|
||
|
remove the need to do the mount/unmount steps in each and every test case.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Possibly take a look at the file system tests in FreeBSD. They seem to be
|
||
|
much more complete, even though they are written in Perl and therefore not
|
||
|
directly usable.
