 community.

 Action Items:
 - How do I get access to create a wiki page

 point your browser to: http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org
 create one account there

 - Any instructions on checking out the code and building it ?

 see:
 http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories

 To build the code, use make, read the INSTALL file

 - I'm planning on using a VM for testing, any specific VMs recommended
 (VirtualBox?)

 not that I know of.

 Kind regards

Hello all,
I've been silently following the development of btrfs for a while now.
After checking out and building the kernel module, I am unable to insmod
it. It complains that it's not of a valid type. Any ideas?

QA suite plans

2008-07-16 Thread Ahmed Kamal
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 ?

Thank you

AFAIK its going to be alot like the xfs stuff, where its just a bunch of scripts
to test for regressions.  So stuff to test the subvol/snapshotting stuff, and
then other scripts to test the normal filesystem aspects of btrfs.  Thanks,

Josef
