QA:Testcase nfs generic

Description

This test case is to run LTP filesystem tests on a NFSv4 root. You can run both NFS server and client on the same system or use different systems. Please note, this test can take a while.

How to test

1. First, configure the NFS server by creating an NFS mount export

   cp /etc/exports /etc/exports.orig
   echo '/nfs *(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)' >/etc/exports
   mkdir /nfs
   service nfs restart

2. Next, run the following steps on the NFS client. Mount the NFS directory to /tmp, since tests will manipulate files in that directory.

   mount -t nfs4 <server IP>:/nfs /tmp

3. Next, install dependencies needed to compile LTP.

   yum install procmail flex bison kernel-devel

4. Next, download and prepare the LTP testsuite

   wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/ltp/files/LTP%20Source/OLD-ltp-20090731/ltp-full-20090731.tgz/download'
   tar zxvf ltp-full-20090731.tgz
   cd ltp-full-20090731

5. Before running the testsuite, disable the proc01 test by commenting out the appropriate line in the file runtest/fs. The following command will disable the proc01 test.

   sed -i 's|^\(proc01 proc01\)$|#\1|' runtest/fs

6. Now, build and run the testsuite from the client.

   ./configure
   make
   make install
   ./runltp  -p -d /tmp -l /tmp/ltp.log -o /tmp/ltp.run.log -f fs | tee TESTOUT.log

7. Save the output from the tests to TESTOUT.log, copy /var/log/messages from both the server and client, and then tar and compress them together with /tmp/ltp.log and /tmp.ltp.run.log to upload it to the wiki. Please include a link to the uploaded file in your test day results.

   mkdir log
   scp root@<server hostname>:/var/log/messages messages.server
   cp TESTOUT.log messages.server /var/log/messages /tmp/ltp*.log log/
   tar czvf /tmp/nfs_generic-results-<fedora user name>.tgz log/

8. Cleanup.

   umount /tmp
