Sunday 13th of October: SSD cache test day
by Rolf Fokkens
Hi All,
The Fedora SSD Cache is this sunday October 13th 2013. This Fedora Test
Day will focus on bcache based SSD Caching in Fedora 20.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-10-13_SSD_Cache
If you're interested in trying out the new bcache SSD caching
functionality step by step instructions are available for:
- bcache on physical hardware
- bcache in a virtual machine
- non-root FS on bcache (with or without LVM)
- root FS on bcache (wtih or without LVM)
The objective of this Test day is to demonstrate a working Fedora 20
system using bcache. Te be more specific:
* The system boots OK; after booting bcache is operating as expected
* The system updates ("yum update") OK. After updating specifically
the kernel the system boots OK.
* The system is bootable when the caching device is disabled.
Although testing on real hardware is closest to "the real thing",
testing in a VM may also provide good insights on the proper working of
bcache (except for performance).
If you can't make the date of the test day, adding test case results to the wiki anytime next week is fine as well. Though if you do plan on showing up to the test day,
please add your name to the participant list on the wiki, and when the day arrives, pop into #fedora-test-day on freenode and give us a shout! If you can't make the date
of the test day, adding test case results to the wiki anytime next week is fine as well. Though if you do plan on showing up to the test day, add your name to the
participant list on the wiki, and when the day arrives, pop into #fedora-test-day on freenode and give us a shout!
The Wiki page is still under development, so expect some improvements
before sunday.
Thanks,
Igor Gnatenko

Fedora 20 Gnome Test Day, October 10th
by Jan Sedlak
Hi,
This Thursday, 10th of October, is Fedora Gnome Test day. Check out the
test day page [1] if you are interested.
You can test new Gnome 3.10 features [2] from Fedora 20 Live images and
help to make this release better.
Only YOU can test some new exciting features, including, but not only:
* Gnome Software
* Gnome Music
* Gnome Maps
* Wayland support
... and MUCH more.
Join IRC #fedora-test-day on FreeNode if you get into trouble.
Report all bugs preferably at upstream bugzilla [3] or Red Hat bugzilla [4].
You can also report other Fedora bugs not related to this Test Day. Feel
free to ask on IRC, if you don't know against which component or on what
bugzilla you should fill the report.
Best Regards,
Jan Sedlák, jsedlak
