Data reliability (consistency) test for file systems

[Instructions]

Log host name     : loghost  (IP: 10.0.0.1)
Target host name  : target   (IP: 10.0.0.2)
Target device node: /dev/sdb1 
File system type  : Ext4 journal
Directory name    : /home2

0. Linux kernel preparation
   0-1. Apply two patches under the patch directory
        $ cd $KERNSRC
        $ patch -p1 < $FSTESTSRC/patch/kernel-sys-c.patch
   0-2. Build and install kernel

1. Install required packages on target host and log host

   Debian:
     # apt-get install build-essentials
     # apt-get install rsync
     # apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
     # apt-get install perl

2. Edit config.*

3. Copy source code to target host and log host
     
     # rsync -atv fs-test root@target:/opt
     # rsync -atv fs-test root@loghost:/opt

4. Run make on each host

     # make

5. (loghost)  Start the log-server
     # ./log-server

6. (targethost)  Edit /etc/fstab (add the following line)
     /dev/sdb1 /home2  ext4  defaults,sync,data=journal,barrier=1  0  2

7. (targethost)  Make a new filesystem
     # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

8. (targethost)  Edit testcase.txt
     [Change this value to 0]       6       deadline
     5       deadline
     6       deadline
     5       noop
     6       noop
     5       cfq
     6       cfq

9. (targethost)  Add the following lines to the end of rc.local (Debian)

     cd /opt/fs-test
     ./test.pl

10. (targethost)  Reboot


  .... (Please wait for a while. It depends on number of test cases) ....


11. (loghost)  Type 'q' to quit log-server

12. (loghost)  Make directories to store logs
    # mkdir /opt/result-check/ext4-j
    # mkdir /opt/result-check/ext4-j/check
    # mkdir /opt/result-check/ext4-j/log
    # mkdir /opt/result-check/ext4-j/results

12. (loghost)  Copy log into /opt/result-check/ext4-j/log
    # cd /opt
    # rsync -atv fs-test /opt/result-check/ext4-j/log/

13. (targethost)  Copy results to loghost:/opt/result-check/ext4-j/results
    # cd /opt
    # rsync -atv fs-test /opt/result-check/ext4-j/results/

14. (loghost)  Create synlinks in check directory
    # cd /opt/result-check/ext4-j/check
    # ln -s ../results/checker/* .
    # cp ../results/config.pl .

15. Run all.sh with an argument
    # ./all.sh ext4journal

16. Please check lstat-*
