Overview
gentest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between SMB servers. It will run a random set of generic operations against //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2 and display the differences in the responses it gets.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
Options
-
-U user%pass -
Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter is mandatory and has to be specified twice.
-
-s seed -
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
-
-o numops -
Set the number of operations to perform.
-
-a -
Print the operations that are performed.
-
-A -
Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.
-
-i FILE -
Specify a file containing the names of fields that have to be ignored (such as time fields). See below for a description of the file format.
-
-O -
Enable oplocks.
-
-S FILE -
Set preset seeds file. The default is gentest_seeds.dat.
-
-L -
Use preset seeds
-
-F -
Fast reconnect (just close files)
-
-C -
Continuous analysis mode
-
-X -
Analyse even when the test succeeded.
