So the guts of this idea are around this ITP:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707178
Our requirement at Koumbit.org is to have a tool that will do a series
of tests when we receive or want to verify new hardware. This would
ideally be in a debirf image, since those are easily to build and
share. A good inspiration of this is the "breakin" software, which the
above ITP is about.
I have started working on a silly debirf rescue image. I basically took
the rescue image from 0.33 and added this file in
rescue/modules/stressant:
debirf_exec apt-get --no-install-recommends --assume-yes install bonnie++ cpuburn stress smartmontools e2fsprogs util-linux screen
Quite trivial really. But to ease collaboration, I started a repo here:
https://redmine.koumbit.net/projects/stressant
Cheers,
A.
