The new version of xfstests adds a _lot_ more tests to our mix. Many of the new ones will auto enable or auto skip as needed. There are tests we can't or won't support that will be in future xfstests. Disable them now so we can avoid dealing with them later. Quite a few fall into "we don't support these types of mounting yet", mostly bind-mount or dm-mapper things. We disable all the swapfile tests flatout. A few tests fail on el7 but not el8/9 but we don't have a way to run them without failing yet, so disable them as well. Update golden with the proper new array of tests. This all requires the `auke/scoutfs-el9` branch in `versity/scoutfs-xfstests-dev`. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke.kok@versity.com>
Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
