I believe someone mentioned on the list they were working on btrfs test cases, it may have been Athmane.

When drafting this recommendation, the original intent was something to mimic the existing installer tests that create non-lvm primary partitions (e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcases_anaconda_ext4_rootfs_on_disk_par...). We may also want additional tests to more fully explore btrfs functionality. Let's get those into a different request if desired.

Hi jdulaney,

I remembered you created a btrfs test for installer:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_btrfs

Do you have any plan to update it? To make it mimic the non-lvm primary partitions(e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcases_anaconda_ext4_rootfs_on_disk_par...) or similar to the default partitioning install test(e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_install) ?

Hi jdulaney,

Do you have any plan to update it? To make it mimic the non-lvm

primary partitions(e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcases_anaconda_ext4_rootfs_on_disk_par...) or similar to the default partitioning install test(e.g. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_install) ?

Actually, I have that written up in my notebook; just have to transfer

it online. I plan to do so tomorrow. Today has been recover-from- yesterday-day.

I figure I'll get the Anaconda installation stuff done with, and I think

that should cover a lot of the basic usage. Then I'll get into things such as subvolume creation/use, the LVM replacement stuff, etc.

Thanks, I created a new anaconda btrfs test based on your test case: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcases_anaconda_btrfs_rootfs_on_disk_pa...

where I assumed that only / was formatted as btrfs by anaconda defaults, but it surely need be confirmed by the developers. Adding Josef to the cc list. Josef, can you please clarify what's the default filesystem for /boot on Fedora 16? Also are there any other changes on anaconda when making btrfs as the default comparing with previous lvm defaults? Thanks.

I've added a generic subvolume creation test (1). Next up is figuring out if Anaconda is going to support subvolume creation during install. If so, I'll creat a test case for that, as well.

I've also moved the test cases out of my user space, and catagorized them all together (2), including the Anaconda case.

Are these tests you'd envision someone running whenever btrfs-related

packages are updated in bodhi? If so, in accordance with [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_package_test_plan_creation QA:SOP_package_test_plan_creation], perhaps it would make sense to use Category:Package_btrfs-progs_test_cases instead?

Indeed, I reckon I should do it that way. I'll fix it right fast.

I've sent off some emails to see what is going on in that regard with btrfs (and Grub2, necessary for booting it).

If it is accepted (and I don't see how it would be without functional Grub2) as standard and Grub2 is not finished, then would Anaconda be able to do an Ext4 /boot partition automagically?

Add the following btrfs and xfs partitioning tests to [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_16_Install_Results_Template#General... install test template]: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_anaconda_btrfs_rootfs_on_disk_par... - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_anaconda_xfs_rootfs_on_disk_parti...

These tests are set to the ‘Final’ priority according to the final release criteria:

"The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system offered in a default installer configuration, LVM, software, hardware or BIOS RAID, or combination of the above"

If any other partitioning tests need be added to the template, feel free to discuss.
