DirectoryLayout

Autotest Directory Layout

By default, the top level directory is called /usr/local/autotest though there's nothing magic about this.

• README - instructions
• bin/ - binaries
• control/ - sample control files
• results/ - results
• tests/ - test modules
• tmp/ - temporary working area
• mnt/ - temporary mount point for filesystems testing
• control - the currently executing control file

Tests may write into the following areas (maybe all ought to be under one, so we can chroot jail them?):

• a subdir under tmp/ (self.tmpdir)
• a subdir under results/ (self.resultsdir)
• a src/ subdir under tests/<thistest> (self.srcdir)

THEY MAY TOUCH NOTHING ELSE
