Are there any test suite that should be run to "certify" the patchless

added to the wiki too?
We run a full suite of tests against each of these kernels -- but I have no
objection to adding a "user reported" section that lists which kernels have
been tried, and problems/successes associated. If you're building from
source, the acceptance-small.sh suite under lustre/tests gives pretty good
coverage, although that's intended to test servers also.
Hmm. I can't find acceptance-small.sh in the 1.5.97 tarball at
least...
At the minimum,
sanity.sh should be able to be run on a client.
Start your patchless client, then just
/lustre/tests# sh sanity.sh
Actually, env MOUNT=/path/to/your/filesystem sh sanity.sh, otherwise
it will create a bunch of files in /mnt/lustre, and all
lustre-specific tests will fail ;)
By the way, I don't think that sanity.sh has been sanitized to support
patchless clients... I'm getting a lot of:
./sanity.sh: line 117: [: patchless: integer expression expected
which seems to make it skip all tests that checks for a lustre kernel
version. I suspect that the correct approach is to apply all tests to
patchless clients, not skip them.
Also, there are a number of funny dependencies... For example, I can't
figure out where it should get socketserver and socketclient from.
On a side note, usleep seems to have been depreceated in modern
distros. Use something like sleep 0.0005 instead.
