Torture for Mirall
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a set of scripts comprising of two parts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``torture_gen_layout.pl``: Generation of layout files (random)
|
|
|
|
|
* ``torture_create_files.pl``: Generation of a real file tree based on the
|
|
|
|
|
layout files (deterministic)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These scripts allow to produce a data set with the following criteria:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* realistic in naming
|
|
|
|
|
* realistic in file size
|
|
|
|
|
* realistic in structural size
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
without checking in the actual data. Instead, a layout file that gets generated
|
|
|
|
|
once (reference.lay) is checked in. This makes it possible to produce
|
|
|
|
|
standardized benchmarks for mirall. It allows allows to check for files gone
|
|
|
|
|
missing in action and other kinds of corruption produced during sync run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``torture_create_files.pl`` can be fine tuned via variables in the script
|
|
|
|
|
header. It sources its file names from ``dict`` wordlist, file extensions and
|
|
|
|
|
other parameters can be added as needed. The defaults should be reasonable
|
|
|
|
|
in terms of size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``references/`` directory contains default folder layouts.

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to create a reference layout and create a tree from it::
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-06-06 13:05:21 +04:00
|
|
|
./torture_gen_layout.pl > reference.lay
|
|
|
|
|
./torture_create_files.pl reference.lay <targetdir>

|
|
|
TODO
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Based on the layout file, write a validator that checks files for existence
|
|
|
|
|
and size without requiring a full reference tree to be created via
|
|
|
|
|
``./torture_gen_layout.pl``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The current file naming is fairly tame (i.e. almost within ASCII range).
|
|
|
|
|
Extending it randomly is dangerous, we first need to filter all
|
|
|
|
|
characters forbidden by various OSes. Or maybe not, because we want to
|
|
|
|
|
see what happens? :-). Anyway, you have been warned.
