Alex, Girish,

During my conversation with Livermore today, we contemplated how we will test
e2fsck. While there are some tools available that produce corruption scenarios,
what we need here is some targeted tests that break the file system in ways that
we've known to have problems. For example, bug 11414 needs a specific test case
in order to evaluate the ldiskfs fix by Andreas.

Regarding things to include in our corruption test suite, we can look to
Bugzilla tickets. I'll ask Livermore to help coach us at relevant cases and
attachments.

Brian Behlendorf expressed concerns that there may be several exceptions in
ldiskfs that are not handled effectively by e2fsck. This was in Terry's original
email and agreed to by Alex. This reinforces that a thorough code review is
warranted.

Finally, Livermore wonders which version of e2fsck we should be working with.
There is the current production version e2fsprogs-1.39.cfs2 from the customer
download site, but Andreas has a .cfs3 available on the ftp site.

All of this should be addressed in the planning worksheet and included in our
planning estimates.
