OCFS2

OCFS2 Development Wiki Page

Testing Project

There is an ocfs2 test suite at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2-test/

Here is a list of tests that we have now:

/Ocfs2TestList

If you wonder where the results of the 1.4 and 1.6 tests are, you can look at them here:

/Ocfs2EnterpriseTestResults

Starting with 2.6.23, we will be publishing ocfs2 test coverage.

/Ocfs2TestCoverage

For more details:

ocfs2-test CookBook - Understanding, Building, Installing and Running

Things are pretty basic right now. Please consider contributing tests.

Here are also some benchmarks:

Tasks

Interested hackers are encouraged to take an active role in OCFS2 development. This section is where we'll keep lists of features, cleanups, etc that need to be done on OCFS2 FS and its Tools. If you feel like contributing by taking on one of these, please coordinate via the development mailing list. We can also record the 'owner' of any given task here.

When a task is complete, please move it to the bottom of the list it belongs too and indicate which kernel/tools version it will first appear in.

OCFS2 FS and Tools patches can be tracked, developed and submitted via the guidelines at the FS sources page and Tools sources page.

Before starting to code, please familiarize yourself with the OCFS2 Coding Style.

In particular, be sure you read and fully understand the instructions in Andrew Morton's The Perfect Patch

It is not acceptable to ignore any of the guidelines in The Perfect Patch, no matter how much of a pain you might think it is.

Please remember that the task lists can change, and they certainly aren't exhaustive. If you have an idea for a patch which isn't covered here, please feel free to develop it!
