I'm sure there are communities that might be interested in participating? So, some questions to help explore our options ... What external customers/communities should we solicit for attendance?
Customers who need to involve with NFS server or/and client, system administrators. NFS, network, kernel, Fedora communities.
What is required to participate? What distro? F12, Rawhide, other?
Rawhide. 2.6.32-2 F-13 (or later) kernel and nfs-utils-1.2.1-5 (or later) rpm.
2. Installed system or Live image?
Both.
3. System requirements (single system or multiple)?
Single will do if use virtual machines.
4. Can a virtual lab be used?
Yes
What test feedback is needed? Is there a hardware-specific component where community contributor feedback would be helpful (i.e. like xorg-x11-drv-* test days where testers all have different hardware?)
Not I am aware at the moment except architectures.
2. Is there software-specific components where community feedback is needed? (for example, running tests against different versions of nfs (client+server), or across F-12, F-11 and rawhide)?
Maybe, some of the fixed.
v3 server + v4 client v4 client + v3 server v4 server + v4 client
Had a good discussion with Cai on IRC this morning. In order to schedule the NFS test day, we agreed that the following tasks need to be completed first.
Sorry for the delay.
''Get people on board'' - Identify and reach out to additional NFS experts who can provide test guidance.
After discussed with Steve, looks like there some NFS community we can get them involved like,
Linux NFS mailing list linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org Linux NFSv4 mailing list nfsv4@linux-nfs.org Linux pNFS mailing list pnfs@linux-nfs.org Connectathon event http://www.connectathon.org/
''How to test'' - outline some details on what, and how, to test NFSv4 in the form of wiki test cases
We can test NFS v4 as well as Secure NFS with the above NFS test suites, and general filesystem testsuites like fsx2, bonnie etc. I'll be working on a sample test wiki page for review shortly. Does it make sense?
I created a page here, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Day:2010-03-02_NFS
The page looks good. I see you have made a few corrections already. Thanks for pushing forward with the content.
As we get closer, we should provide more test prep/setup information. For example, how can testers test the latest NFS v4 code. Whether they need to download a nightly live image, or install Fedora 13 Alpha, or install Fedora 12 (and apply test packages). Also, I assume the test case instructions will provide the details, but guidance on downloading the connectathon test.
I moved the page into the anonymous "Test_Day" namespace so you can have anonymous feedback from testers ([https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Day:2010-03-02_NFS QA/Test_Day:2010-03-02_NFS] -> [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2010-03-02_NFS Test_Day:2010-03-02_NFS]).
I've updated the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Fedora_13_test_days test day schedule] to include NFSv4 testing on 2010-03-02.
The next steps I believe are: 1. [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management#Create_test_cases Complete the test cases] - If you, or someone else, are able to gather the content for the test cases, I (and likely others on test@l.fh.org) can assist cleaning up the cases for proper formatting etc... 2. ~ 1 week prior, [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/SOP_Test_Day_management#Promote_the_Test_Day promote the test day] to the lists you mentioned in comment#3.
NFSv4 test day completed, thanks Qai and Steved. I couldn't find a test day summary for the event. Feel free to add that link in case I missed it.
