Before you start testing it would be good to explain how it works.
The script works in three modes:
1. read-only (no special arguments) - suitable for read-only backends. Just
create the sample structure using the second mode, pack it (tar -p is
preferred to preserve unix modes) and put it on a reachable place.
2. create-structure - only creates reference structure for later testing
in read-only mode
3. write mode - full test suite, creates testing structure and performs all
read and write tests. Please note the delete/move tests are included
in this mode and target directory structure is unusable after the script
is finished.
To see the list of available parameters just run 'live-g-file --help'
Notes:
- it's advised to clean target directory first, otherwise some tests might fail
(i.e. the tests creating testing structure)
Tested:
- local filesystem (/tmp/...)
- file:// uri (file:///tmp/...)
- locatest:// gvfs backend (localtest:///tmp/...)
- FAT16 filesystem (no POSIX extensions)
