Anand Avati 91052d8b56 tests/fileio.rc: library for file descriptor based IO in tests There are situations in test scripts where we want to keep open file descriptors while performing other commands. Bash has abilities to manage file descriptors by numbers, but the syntax is a little brain damaging. This library provides wrappers around it to abstract away bash's syntax and also provides a helper function to pick a free file descriptor on the fly. The APIs are pretty self explanatory.

How to use test script framework.
=================================

- Build and install the version of glusterfs with your changes. Make
  sure the installed version is accessible from $PATH.

- To mount glusterfs, NEVER use 'mount -t glusterfs', instead use
  'glusterfs -s ' method. This is because with the patch build setup
  doesnot install the /sbin/mount.glusterfs necessary, where as the
  glusterfs binary will be accessible with $PATH, and will pick the
  right version.

- (optional) Set environment variables to specify location of
  export directories and mount points. Unless you have special
  requirements, the defaults should just work. The variables
  themselves can be found at the top of tests/include.rc. All
  of them can be overriden with environment variables.

- Execute run-tests.sh in the top level directory as root.

- If some test cases fail, you can execute the failed test case script
  directly bypassing run-tests.sh. At this time it might be
  useful to set the envrionment variable DEBUG=1 before running
  the individual test script directly by hand.

- BE WARNED THAT THE TEST CASES DELETE /var/lib/glusterd/* !!!
