Greetings,
A few fedora upgrade test cases were created.These cases will test the fedora system upgrade with local CD/DVD.Get more details from:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Upgrade_system
Any suggestion or question,please feel free to reply. Your feedback would be welcome.
They look good, thanks Liam. I've made a few corrections including moving into the QA: wiki namespace and utilizing the {{QA/Test_Case}} template. I've only updated QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_New_Bootloader to the new template, you may wish to do the same for the others.
We don't have a section related to upgrades in the Fedora 11 installation test matrix, would it make sense to add your new tests to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Fedora_11_Install_Results_Template?
Thanks, James
It might be good to add test cases for upgrading to ext4 from ext3 too.
I've not tested this explicitly yet. Are there certain prompts for that the user must acknowledge/respond? Does anaconda automatically upgrade non-/boot ext3 partitions to ext4 during an upgrade?
If you've recently performed an anaconda upgrade like this, I'd be interested in your experiences.
Thanks, James
I don't have a spare system at the moment to use as a testing platform. Perhaps late in June.
However, I have been following the anaconda discussions closely, particularly Upgrading from F9/F10 ICH9 RAID 1 systems.
It is my understanding that since ext4 will be the default fs for F11, existing non-boot ext3 partitions are converted to ext4 as part of the upgrade from F9/10 to F11. Whether there is an option given to the user, I can't say at this point - probably not.
Since the upgraded system is different from the original F9/F10 starting point (in many ways - ext4 is just one), any repeated testing (necessary - because the first few trials will fail..) will require a restore of the F9/F10 system before the next test.
I think it is only fair to the testers to make this point upfront before they test the Upgrade.
