By Leave a Comment

User mezzantrop is testing a FreeBSD based dual-controller storage system. Check out his page to see his research and findings. The user also welcomes discussion/feedback and ideas to get it published. beast_v5_zfs_cache

Hi Community,

I’m testing #FreeBSD as the OS for a reliable dual-controller #storage system with #ZFS, mirrored cache and etc. I have some progress on it and my notes on the model are already took 30 of A4 format pages and their number is still growing. Looks like I need to publish it somehow to show the model to the guys who may be interested. Do you know where is the best place to start?

FreeBSD based dual-controller reliable storage system concept with aim to implement ZFS and in-memory cache. This is a first paper of my explorations. Free to discuss and needed to be tested.

Blog: System Under Test – FreeBSD

freebsdtestUser AlexDenisov shows us an overview of FreeBSD’s test suite, as well as tools used by FreeBSD developers for various write and run tasks. See his blog in the link below which explains how these tests can be done.

Obsession with tests always forces you to look for new ways and approaches for testing. Quite often it is very helpful to get inspiration from other projects.

Having that in mind, I decided to start a short series of posts called “System Under Test”. Each article will cover testing techniques used in particular open-source project. The goal of these articles is to answer the question “How is X tested?”.

Here is a list of projects I want to start with:

Tests

FreeBSD has one test suite. It contains ~3.6k tests and takes ~7.5 minutes to run on a virtual machine with 2Gb of RAM.
