No where, I just compile the drivers, see if my system boots up and then I run some I/O intensive stuff, like bonnie++, emerge -e world at the same time. > So you are testing libata and ext4dev at the same time... Not really, i dont focus on ext4dev, it just happens to be a partition that's empty and has 40GB of space left for disk writes. I mostly use XFS on my system. > > libsata == libata ? I don't think there is a seperate libata, it's all put under libsata if I understand the working correctly (Alan, don't sue me if I am wrong). Maybe it *IS* a nice idea to outline some standard tests that developers want to have carried out or some specific tests to trace bugs or test if a patch/fix does its work.. But that's not up to me, I am not a coder, I can do some very basic stuff in C, that's where programming ends for me, unless it's shell scripting. Patrick
