What to test?[edit]

Today's instalment of Fedora Test Day will focus on:

Features/AnacondaStorageRewrite

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Development - Dave Lehman, Chris Lumens, Joel Granados
Quality Assurance - Robert Williams, James Laska, Adam Williamson, Will Woods

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

Rawhide fully updated (some tips below) with anaconda-11.5.0.24-3. Remember, Rawhide is an unsupported development branch: use an installation you don't mind getting broken.
FAS Account - you can create an account in 3 minutes if you don't have one
Selinux enabled. If you need to run in permissive mode please file a bug against selinux
(optional) - A link to your smolt profile page on Smolt

How to test[edit]

This testing effort will focus on improvements in the way in which anaconda interacts with block devices.

During this test we will focus on validation of code updates to anaconda using known good test cases. Any failures seen during this test day are especially important as they may indicate a regression in functionality from previous test results.

Test Areas[edit]

The following areas will be exercised during the execution of the defined test cases:

RAID
DMRAID
LVM
Encrypted Block Device

In addition to the baseline test cases in the table below, exploratory testing of anaconda and block devices is especially desirable.

Not Ready for Testing
Before exploring different test areas, please note that some components are known to be unstable for the test day. This list includes:

Multipath devices
Partition resize

Updates[edit]

All testing will start with rawhide. All changes for the day will be done using anaconda updates.img process. To test the latest storage fixes, you must boot with:

For all architectures -

 updates=http://dlehman.fedorapeople.org/storage/testing/updates.img

Filing Bugs[edit]

Please file bugs against Anaconda. If manually filing a bug, please set the following attributes:

component - anaconda
version - rawhide
whiteboard - StorageRewrite

Test Areas and Results[edit]

In order to improve on our ability to record test results and encourage exploratory testing with the community, we are trying a different format for this test day. Instead for specific test cases, which hit different scenarios we define, a few high level 'test areas' which exercise the desired functions.

For example, we now have 3 test areas which block device types are defined as ....

- Native (think workstation or integrated hard disks)
- iSCSI
- RAID (both hardware and software)

The reason for these as the major test areas is that other things like autopart, encrypted fs and ext4 could be considered functions which are applied to those test areas and anaconda interacts with them in a direct manner (that is, with fewer layers or abstractions between).

Native
User	Smolt Profile	AutoPart	LVM	Ext4	EncryptFS
User:sample_user	link to smolt profile	pass	pass	fail	pass
User:sample_user	link to smolt profile	pass	fail	pass	pass

RAID

Exploratory Testing[edit]

User	SMOLT profile	Test Area (Native, RAID, iSCSI)	Function	How to Test	Expected Results	Results
