2011-04-04	tests: avoid spurious parallel failure due to temporary disk full	Jim Meyering
	Running the new fiemap-empty test uses 600MB of disk space via fallocate, and in so doing caused failure in unrelated tests that were running in parallel on a small file system. Rather than simply running fallocate (which allocates the space, inducing disk full when it fails), skip the test if there is less than 800MB of free space, as computed via stat and awk. * tests/init.cfg (require_file_system_bytes_free_): New function. * tests/cp/fiemap-empty: Use it.
2011-03-28	tests: avoid unwarranted failure in mock-simulated non-SELinux env.	Mathieu Bridon
	* tests/init.cfg (require_selinux_): Skip the test also when /proc/filesystems does not list selinuxfs. Add comments. * cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_file_system): Exempt tests/init.cfg, with its use of /proc/filesystems. Based on the patch by Mathieu Bridon in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8359. More discussion in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/573111
2011-02-15	tests: support more file systems in the cp fiemap tests	Pádraig Brady
	* tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Check for fiemap support against a file rather than a directory to enable tests on BTRFS for example. Explicity disable the test on ext3 or file systems where we can't determine the type. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Likewise. Also disable the test on older BTRFS (like in Fedora 14), where extents are returned for holes. * tests/init.cfg: Comment that BTRFS only supports fiemap for regular files.
2011-02-10	tests: print "python missing:..." diagnostic where more will see it	Jim Meyering
	* tests/init.cfg (fiemap_capable_): Print with warn_, so that the diagnostic shows up alongside the corresponding SKIP message.
2011-02-08	test: improve the cp fiemap tests	Pádraig Brady
	* tests/cp/fiemap-2: Enable the fiemap check for files, which will enable the test for files on ext3. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Comment why we're not enabling for ext3. * tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Ditto. Also sync the files before doing a fiemap which was needed for ext4 loop back at least. Add a comment that FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC is ineffective, thus requiring the explicit syncs. * tests/fiemap-capable: A new python script to determine if a specified path supports fiemap. * tests/init.cfg (fiemap_capable_): Use the new python script. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Include the new python script.
2011-01-31	tests: gfs2 also supports FIEMAP	Jim Meyering
	* tests/init.cfg (fiemap_capable_): Add gfs2. Clarify comment.
2011-01-31	tests: factor fiemap-related predicate into init.cfg	Jim Meyering
	* tests/init.cfg (fiemap_capable_): New function. * tests/cp/fiemap-perf: Use it. * tests/cp/sparse-fiemap: Likewise. * tests/cp/fiemap-2: Likewise.
2010-12-22	maint: correct test-related comments	Jim Meyering
	* tests/mv/i-3: Adjust comment to match just-changed code. Spotted by Pádraig Brady. * tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Correct spelling of function name in usage example.
2010-11-17	tests: factor out VERBOSE-only --version-printing code	Jim Meyering
	* tests/init.cfg (print_ver_): New function.
2010-11-08	tests: avoid portability problem with dash vs. local v=$splittable_val	Pádraig Brady
	* tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Adjust awk script to print a single floating point value, rather than many.
2010-11-06	tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh	Jim Meyering
	* tests/init.sh: Arrange not to accept FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh, since it fails this test: /bin/sh -c 'f(){ local s=$IFS; test -n "$s"; }; f' * tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): Stop-gap measure to work around a bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh. We'll un-do this change once all 300+ tests use init.sh.
2010-09-07	tests: make various timeouts more robust	Pádraig Brady
	* tests/init.cfg (retry_delay_): Describe the backoff method used. * tests/ls/readdir-mountpoint-inode: Add a timeout to the stat call to eliminate the chance of hangups. * tests/mv/i-3: Change the timeout required to pass from 1 second to a range of .1s - 3.1s. * tests/rm/dangling-symlink: Likewise.
2010-09-07	tests: exclude some tests when running on NFS	Pádraig Brady
	All tests currently pass on NFS on Linux kernel 2.6.22 at least, but some fail on 2.6.9, so we exclude those here. * tests/init.cfg (is_local_dir_): A new function returning if the specified directory is on a local file system. (require_local_dir_): A new function to skip tests if the current directory is not on a local file system. * tests/cp/existing-perm-race: Skip if non local. * tests/cp/file-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm: Likewise. * tests/cp/parent-perm-race: Likewise. * tests/cp/preserve-2: Likewise. * tests/mv/part-symlink: Likewise. * tests/du/basic: Use refactored function. * tests/install/basic-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. * tests/dd/skip-seek-past-dev: Likewise. * tests/du/slink: Likewise. Remove redundant test for NFS file system. * tests/misc/join: s/local/locale/.
2010-07-05	tests: make tests requiring a delay to pass, more robust	Pádraig Brady
	* tests/init.cfg: Introduce a retry_delay_() function to repeatedly call a test function that requires a delay. This delay can now be shorter for the common case on fast systems, but will double until a configurable limit it reached before failing on slower systems. * tests/dd/reblock: Use retry_delay_. * tests/misc/cat-buf: Likewise. * tests/misc/stdbuf: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/flush-initial: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/tail-n0f: Likewise. * tests/tail-2/wait: Likewise. * test/dd/misc: Comment that delay is needed to trigger failure.
2010-06-30	tests: move most helper functions from test-lib.sh to new init.cfg	Jim Meyering
	From there, they will be used by both test-lib.sh (as we phase it out) and the newer init.sh, to which all tests will migrate. * tests/test-lib.sh: Move most functions from here, ... * tests/init.cfg: ...to here. New file. * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add init.cfg.
