9goal to deliver test suites to the open source community that validate the
10reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. The Linux Test Project is a
11collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel and related features. Our goal
12is to improve the Linux kernel by bring test automation to the kernel testing

83Don't run them on production systems. Growfiles, doio, and iogen in particular
84stress the I/O capabilities of systems and while they should not cause problems
85on properly functioning systems, they are intended to find (or cause) problems.
