Action Bit Storage Test
The interface to the Bitstorage is facilitated by a bash script. Efforts have been made to prevent the shell and ssh command from interpretating the arguments, but no tests have verified their efficacy. This action is to try all thinkable bash-sensitive characters and combinations of characters in filenames, to ensure that they are not interpreted.
The lower range of the ascii table should be tested. Perhaps by an automatic system to generate strings for filenames.
Very long names should be tested. The bitstorage system will fail for long names, but the method of failing must be understood.
Preliminary results include:
- The script now (correctly) handles multiple consecutive spaces in filenames
- The target filesystem is uses utf-8 names, so odd chars are represented correctly
2 md, in order for both participants to have a chance to notice missing combinations This does not include time for fixes, just the test.
