Scenarios tested: * Upgrade the node when there are stripe / tiering and regular type of volumes are present. - All volumes are started fine (as the change was not on brick volfile) - For tier, the functionality may not even work, as changetimerecorder is not present. - 'gluster volume info' properly shows as 'NOT SUPPORTED' for stripe and tier type of volume. * Upgrade in a rolling upgrade scenario, where an old version is able to connect to higher master. - on a normal volume, if the volfile-server was new, the newer client volfiles needed to have utime xlator conditionally. - with this one change, all other changes seem to work fine.

Testing
GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under tests/
directory. All
these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your
patch to be tested, please add a .t
test file as part of your patch submission.
You can also submit a patch to only add a .t
file for the test case you are
aware of.
To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run ./run-tests.sh
. Don't run
this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would
blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.
If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command.
bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
You can also use prove
tool if available in your machine, as follows.
bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
