"distro" stuff in zfstest

[Yuri Pankov]

Hi,

Currently running zfstest on anything not having a related .run file
fails with "Couldn't determine distro". Current choices are "delphix"
and "openindiana", and while I understand the need for distro-specific
tests, can't we create "generic" profile, which should be selected
instead of reporting the above error?

Hi Yuri,

Currently running zfstest on anything not having a related .run file fails
with "Couldn't determine distro". Current choices are "delphix" and
"openindiana", and while I understand the need for distro-specific tests,
can't we create "generic" profile, which should be selected instead of
reporting the above error?

My thinking at the time was that individual distributions would each maintain
files that described tests relevant in their environment. The two options
available today are in fact identical, and no other runfiles have been added.
So having a generic default makes sense; I've filed a bug for it.

In the meantime, you can use -c to specify one of the existing runfiles. I
only point this out because the zfstest script currently lacks a usage
message - also being addressed.
