Hi Aaron, I am not aware of any autotest running done under FreeBSD platforms, as autotest was designed to test the linux kernel primarily. If we can fit in your testing needs in a reasonable way, we are happy to evaluate patches. As far as I can think, some tweaks would be needed as autotest uses a bit of linux OS specific interfaces to do test environment preparation, such as dropping memory caches. As for python versions, the code is designed to work with python 2.4, but works well up to 2.7 (I do most of my development on pretty current Fedora 15 systems who ship with 2.7). So I imagine that, although most of the code should work under unix based OSs, I am certain that you'll find some surprises. I *imagine* fixing them won't be too hard, though.
