The Linux Test Project test suite <http://www.linuxtestproject.org> has
been released. The latest version of the testsuite contains 2000+ tests for
the Linux OS. Our web site also contains other information such as: test
results, a Linux test tools matrix, an area for keeping up with fixes for
known blocking problems in the 2.5/2.6 kernel releases, technical papers
and HowTos on Linux testing, and a code coverage analysis tool.
Highlights:
* Updated the LTP test driver to handle all real-time signals.
* Updated the command tests to ensure better portability.
* Added new NFS test, nfs_fsstress, to stress NFS using the fsstress
test.
* Added new tests for low-level SCSI, virtual SCSI, Asynch IO, & ACL
control and management
* Applied more bug fixes, patches, and code cleanups.
We encourage the community to post results, patches or new tests on our
mailing list <ltp-list@lists.sf.net> and use the CVS bug tracking facility
to report problems that you might encounter with the test suite.
See ChangeLog below.

execution and portability.
- Updated "cpio_tests.sh" with fixes to improve ( Glen Foster )
execution and portability.
- Updated "cron_tests.sh" with fixes to improve ( Glen Foster )
execution and portability.
- Updated "mail_tests.sh" with fixes to improve ( Glen Foster )
execution and portability.
- Added Asynchronous I/O (aio) testcases. ( Marty Ridgeway )
- Added file & directory ACL control and ( Marty Ridgeway )
management testcases.
- Added testcases for low-level SCSI & virtual ( Marty Ridgeway )
SCSI devices.
- Updated direct IO tests to return TCONF if ( Robbie Williamson )
the tested filesystem does not support dio.
- Updated acct01 & sockioctl01 to handle ( Robbie Williamson )
situations where /dev/tty0 does not exist.
- Updated fsync02 to ensure max_block is always ( Robbie Williamson )
