Kibosh is a fault-injecting filesystem for Linux.
Kibosh acts as a pass-through layer on top of existing filesystems. Usually, it simply forwards each request on to the underlying filesystems, but it can be configured to inject arbitrary faults.
Kibosh runs on Linux. We do not currently support Mac or Windows.
If running in a container environment, the container needs to be run with additional options giving Kibosh access to FUSE.
--cap-add SYS_ADMIN # this allows Kibosh to mount a FUSE filesystem
--device /dev/fuse # this exposes Kibosh to the FUSE device
Alternatively, the container can be run with --privileged flag which grants Kibosh all the permissions it needs.
$ docker run --privileged -ti ubuntu /bin/bash
In order to build Kibosh, you must have the CMake build system installed, and a C compiler. We also depend on the development libraries for FUSE. Pkg-config is used by configure script to gather paths of required libraries.
In Ubuntu, run apt-get install cmake libfuse-dev fuse pkg-config to install the dependencies.
It is recommended to build in a separate directory from the source directory.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
$ make
To run the tests for Kibosh, type:
$ make test
To run Kibosh, you supply a mirror directory as the mount point as the first argument, and a target directory which you would like to mirror as the second argument.
$ ./kibosh <mirror_dir> --target <target_dir>
Here is an example to run Kibosh with more options:
$ ./kibosh --target /mnt/kibosh/target --pidfile /mnt/kibosh/log/pidfile --log /mnt/kibosh/log/kibosh.log /mnt/kibosh/mirror
For more usage information, try:
$ ./kibosh -h
Faults are injected by writing JSON to the control file. The control file is a virtual file which does not appear in directory listings, but which is used to control the filesystem behavior.
Example:
# Mount the filesystem.
$ ./kibosh /kibosh_mnt --target /mnt
# Verify that there are no faults set, this shows current fault JSON.
$ cat /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
{"faults":[]}
# Inject new faults:
# add unreadable fault
$ echo '{"faults":[{"type":"unreadable", "prefix":"", "suffix":"", "code":5}]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# add unwritable fault
$ echo '{"faults":[{"type":"unwritable", "prefix":"", "suffix":"", "code":5}]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# add read_delay fault
$ echo '{"faults":[{"type":"read_delay", "prefix":"", "suffix":"", "delay_ms":1000, "fraction":1.0}]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# add write_delay fault
$ echo '{"faults":[{"type":"write_delay", "prefix":"", "suffix":"", "delay_ms":1000, "fraction":1.0}]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# add read_corrupt fault
$ echo '{"faults":[{"type":"read_corrupt", "prefix":"", "suffix":"", "mode":1000, "fraction":0.5, "count":-1}]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# add write_corrupt fault
$ echo '{"faults":[{"type":"write_corrupt", "prefix":"", "suffix":"", "mode":1000, "fraction":0.5, "count":-1}]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# Remove all faults.
$ echo '{"faults":[]}' > /kibosh_mnt/kibosh_control
# fuse needs to be installed, use sudo if necessary.
$ fusermount -u <mirror_dir>
