Hi!
The upstream project for zfsonlinux is currently working on adding
support for ZFS channel programs (ZCP) [1].
This requires some architecture-specific code, read assembly, and
the upstream developers therefore need testers for the various
platforms.
I have already contributed tests on powerpc, ppc64 and sparc64 and
I would like to contribute tests on Debian MIPS. Unfortunately, my
MIPS CI-20 is currently somewhere hidden deep in my storage room
so it would take a longer exploration to get it up and running.
Would someone from Debian MIPS be willing to help out? Instructions
on how to run the test can be found in the pullrequest [2]. Please
note that, since this a kernel driver, it may crash your machine
completely (happened on a Debian sparc64 box).
Thanks in advance!
Adrian
