- connectathon
- pynfs
- fsx (from the ltp) (server tester; we're using the "newpynfs" version)
- fsstress (from the ltp)
Testing Partners
Stay tuned - we will be organizing the testing of NFS4.0 features such as namespace construction, cross-realm and foreign ACL access as well as NFSv4.1 prototype testing (pNFS, Directory Delegations, etc).
Schedule
In general, the doors to CITI will be open between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Fruits, Coffee, Pop, Donuts/Bagels will be provided each morning. Lunch and Dinner are not provided, and will be ad-hoc (no scheduled time!)
Network
The event network is all new this year. Each table will have one 10/100/1000 megabit (1G) switch, and one 10/100 megabit (100M) hub. If you need to monitor network traffic you can put the monitoring device on the same 100M hub as the device being monitored. Please give priority for the 1G ports to those who actually have 1G interfaces. Please bring your own cable, 3-6 ft (1-2 m). IP addresses will be real (no NAT) but will be behind a firewall that lets connections out but not in.
There will be both static and dhcp addresses available. Names will be in the citi.umich.edu domain. If you need static addresses or have special requirements for the firewall, please let us know ahead of time. CITI's wireless network is also available for generic laptop use, but is not behind the firewall. (The WEP key is posted inside CITI.)
Kerberos and LDAP Services
CITI will provide a Kerberos v5 cell, and an LDAP service.
