Greetings,

First, let me apologize for using this list for this.  I'm writing a new
file system for another operating system.  The only real tie to FreeBSD
is that I am cross developing the system using 3.1.  The main reason I'm
using this list is that I know there's lots o savvy file system folks here
from following the list for several years.  So, I hope I dont get people
too mad about this.

What I'm looking for is a test suite that can be used to exercise a POSIX
file system interface.  I'm looking for two kinds of tests:

1) Tests of individual routines to make sure they work correctly, i.e.
return the right values when various error conditions are thrown at them.

2) A test or set of tests that will exercise the file system over a long
period of time, perhaps throwing random operations at it or perhaps
using distributions to throw various operations at it.

Anyone know of such a test suite?  What sort of code is used to test the
FreeBSD file systems for things like regression testing?

Thanks,
FM
