Hi Team, I have been following the btrfs project since Chris announced it last year. I am happy to see v1.0 is planned in Q4. This is awesome, we can finally get something like ZFS on Linux. The project pace is nothing short of amazing. Thank you :) I notice the plans contain "QA suite". I would like to ask if there are any written plans for this QA suite yet ? Is the suite going to be kernel code, or is it basically going to be a set of scripts using btrfs userspace commands for regression testing ?

So stuff to test the subvol/snapshotting stuff, and then other scripts to test the normal filesystem aspects of btrfs.

Ok, cool. If the torture suite is a bunch of scripts, that is probably something I can help with. I don''t know what''s the contribute policy for this project, but if contributors are welcome I would like to start a wiki page to gather test suite ideas, and I''d start writing scripts to execute the tests and report back results A bit intro about myself: I come from a "system engineering" background. I''ve been introduced to Linux around 10 years ago. I''m an RHCE, and currently work as a system engineer, integrating solutions and consulting on them. I have been involved with the Fedora community. Action Items: - How do I get access to create a wiki page - Any instructions on checking out the code and building it ? - I''m planning on using a VM for testing, any specific VMs recommended (VirtualBox?)

Thanks man, I got myself a wiki account, and get btrfs up and running in a VM.
