Installable File System Filter Test
This automated test verifies whether the behavior in the file system stack is consistent with the typical behavior of a file system. This is a regression test suite.
For more information about the behavior of file systems, see File System Behavior in the Microsoft Windows Environment.

Running the test
If you are running this test on Windows 8, it must be the Professional or Ultimate version of Windows 8; otherwise, the test may fail.
In addition, this test requires extra hard drive space for four simple 2,048-megabyte (MB) partitions and two simple 1,024-MB partitions.
Use a system with 2 local disks. One disk is the boot disk with the system partition, while a completely separate disk is partitioned according to the test requirements.
For more information about requirements, see File System Testing Prerequisites.
Before you run the test, add the following partitions to the Windows environment.

If the test system includes a policy of locking out new accounts, this test might return Blocked on the multiprocess variations if the local computer account Ifstest is locked out. You can then use Account Manager to unlock the account and rerun the suite. RunIFStest.cmd contains references to environment variables that you can change to allow for skipping of certain file systems.
RunIFStest.cmd contains references to environment variables that can be changed to allow for skipping of certain file systems.
Troubleshooting
The test creates a temporary local computer account (Ifstest). It also expects to have additional partitioned volumes. Use a tool such as Minispy to see which I/O request packets (IRPs) are traveling on the file system stack. Compare passing (default Windows installations) with installations, including any failing driver. For documentation about the test variations, see IFS Test in the MSDN® Library.
For general troubleshooting information, see Troubleshooting File System Testing.
This test returns Pass or Fail. The test uses Ntlog for logging the test results. To review test details, review the test log from Windows Hardware Certification Kit (Windows HCK) Studio.
