robbiew | 9ea3ce7 | 2001-09-18 20:38:09 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | The Linux Test Project is a joint project with SGI, IBM, OSDL, and Bull with a |
| 9 | goal to deliver test suites to the open source community that validate the |
| 10 | reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux. The Linux Test Project is a |
| 11 | collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel and related features. Our goal |
| 12 | is to improve the Linux kernel by bring test automation to the kernel testing |
| 13 | effort. Interested open source contributors are encouraged to join the project. |

nstraz | 0312c25 | 2000-09-26 20:59:21 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 75 | Warning! |
| 76 | -------- |
alaffin | 198500d | 2000-08-21 22:18:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 77 | Be careful with these tests! |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Don't run them on production systems. Growfiles, doio, and iogen in particular |
| 80 | stress the I/O capabilities of systems and while they should not cause problems |
| 81 | on properly functioning systems, they are intended to find (or cause) problems. |
