While this is right in principle, it is still good to provide some other alternatives, because: * windows might silently fail. * windows might silently correct errors. * rebooting into windows is slow. Unit tests are more useful if they are easy to run. Other alternatives: * ntfsfix * diff(1) * simple test cases where we can prepare input and expected output after an operation. The e2fsck unit tests work like this... take a look! Cheers, Andrew |
