[Pvfs2-developers] ACL errors using LTP tests

[David Metheny]

We're seeing some acl errors in the LTP tests (http://ltp.sourceforge.net/).
This is on a SMP RHEL4 x86_64 server with kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2. This is using
the code in the CVS tree on July 19th.  I've attached a test set for LTP
that runs this.

To run it, do something like this:

# su
# tar -xvzf ltp-full-20060717.tgz
# cd ltp-full-20060717
# export CFLAGS="-g"
# make && make install
# mkdir /mnt/pvfs2/ltp-tmp
# chmod 777 /mnt/pvfs2/ltp-tmp
# cp ../pvfs-test-cases runtest/
# cp ./testcases/kernel/fs/acls/acl_test01 ./testcases/bin/
# ./runltp -p -l /tmp/ltp.log -d /mnt/pvfs2/ltp-tmp -f pvfs-test-cases 2>&1
| tee /tmp/ltp.output
# tail /tmp/ltp.log

some notes on the above steps:
-------------------------------
- ltp needs to be built and run as root
- -g CFLAGS helps if you need to run a debugger to track down failures
- make install leaves binaries in ltp-full-20050307 directory
- I don't know if it is strictly required, but it seems like I had 
better luck  when running the tests in a subdir with 777 permissions
- the end of the log file shows a summary (how many tests passed and failed)
