I believe Strace Test is the most aggressive general purpose kernel tester available. Strace Test generally crashes my system within 5 minutes (2.6.1-rc2). Strace Test uses a modified version of strace 4.5.1. Instead of printing out information about system calls, the modified version calls the syscalls with improper values. A patch and a binary for i386 are included in the strace_test tar ball. Strace Test uses LTP to generate real world syscalls. Just unpack ltp and type 'make -k'. You don't need to install the test if you don't want to. The modifications make the test scripts go haywire. To keep the test on track we restart it every 10 seconds. The first script is run as root and it spawns off the test as a test user. Every 10 seconds root kills off all the test user's processes and restarts the test. The actual tests are run with user permissions. Strace Test is available from: http://67.113.20.209/strace_test.tar.bz2 Test Instructions (for i386) Create a test user Download and untar ltp (ltp.sf.net) Cd to ltp and `make -k` Untar strace_test cd strace_test && ./go_go.sh Enter the path to ltp Enter the test user regards, dan carpenter -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
