ROBUSTNESS TESTING

Basic stability assessments

test tool test status Owner notes
III.A.1

Run iozone for 2 weeks on basic client/server operations, using:

  • Both data and metadata options
  • Cached and direct I/O
  • Various mount options
IOzonedoneBULLNow testing with fsstress and FFSB
III.A.2

Run automounter use case for 2 weeks on amd, autofs, and autong, using:

  • Large number of maps
  • Randomly mount and run workloads on an automounted partition
  • use a variety of workloads, such as randomly chosen fs tests
e.g. Crashme moreNewnonenone
III.A.3

Run NFS server for 2 wks with random configuration changes, using:

  • Interrupt server in various ways (reboot, power cycle, lan fail)
  • Change/reexport export rules at random
  • Trigger a client workload at arbitrary times
  • Analyze client recovery behaviors
OPENOSDL
III.A.4

Run connectathon locking tests against NFS server for 2 weeks, using:

  • Multiple client machines
  • Reboot at random
  • Analyze client cache coherency behaviors
  • Analyze locking behaviors
NEW
III.A.5

Run fsstress 2 weeks on basic client/server operations, using:

  • Long list random operations (1000 operations)
  • hight number of process (100)
fsstressDoneBULL1 week
III.A.6

Run FFSB 1 day on basic client/server operations in stress configuration, using:

  • 1 200 000 files
  • 100 directories
ffsbDoneBULL1 day

Stress load testing

test tool test status Owner notes
III.C.1 Run stress tools in a std config on each release fsx,fsstress,ffsbIn progressBULL Tests used:
  • fsx
  • fsstress (1h)
  • ffsb (1h)
III.C.2 Analyze load balancing, failure modes, etc. under different stress loads New
III.C.3 Destructive testing by measuring point of failure for various loads New

Scalability (robustness)

III.D.1 Find maximum number of connections to Linux IA-32 serverFsstress, fsxNewBull (partial)
III.D.2 Find maximum number of files for Linux IA-32 exported file systemNew
III.D.3 Find maximum file size on Linux IA-32New
III.D.4 Find maximum number of mounted file systems on clientFsstress, fsxNewBull (partial)
III.D.5 Test robustness on NUMA when scaling CPU, mem, NIC, or disk countFsstress, fsxNew
III.D.6 Test robustness on SMP when scaling CPU, mem, NIC, or disk countFsstress, fsxNewBull (partial)
III.D.7 Test correctness of NFS client when backed by a large (>100GB) cachefsNew
III.D.8 Find maximum number exported file systems on serverNew
III.D.9 Find maximum size of exported file systems on serverNew

Recovery from problems while under light/normal/heavy loads
