I'm not sure this is a realistic goal in a single machine environment. For a realistic testing environment, you need at least 10 system images (and the ability to create a lot more would be very desirable for some of the subtler bugs), and the ability to control time and replay multiple streams of events in a repeatable way. It involves a separate Kerberos infrastructure, and a lot of other moving parts, plus a lot of scripting to build the environment , run the test, and then reset the environment for the next run. You also need different types of systems, different OS levels, etc which complicate the test even further. It's not impossible, but I can say that it cost a fair amount (in the mid-to-high 5 digit range) to build that environment here. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
