I don't want to speak out of school, because I've never tried to boot up Jepsen for anything, but in theory the purpose of publishing the code for the experiment is that one can replicate its findings in your own environment to see if it impacts you. Yes, I'd guess that custom FUSE will be a PITA to configure but my experience with the AWS RDS setups for kicking the tires on MariaDB is (ahem) just money versus costing huge amounts of glucose


The FUSE stuff actually isn't too bad--Jepsen goes to a lot of trouble to make all this stuff automatic. The test harness pulls dependencies, compiles LazyFS, and mounts the filesystem for you. Just pass `--lazyfs` at the CLI. :-)
