LTP

The Linux Test Project (LTP) provides tests to the open source community for validating reliability, robustness, and stability of the Linux Kernel.

This example job demonstrates running the LTP smoketest suite on an ampereone server. The ltp.tar.xz pre-built binaries are deployed to the root filesystem as an overlay. A local NVMe partition mounted to /scratch is used as the LTP TMPDIR.
