+
+       mirror_tests is designed to check that yaffs behaves the same way as linux.
+       This is done by applying the same command to both linux and yaffs and 
+       then checking the output of the functions.
+       The default place for creating linux files is direct/timothy_tests/mirror_tests/tests/
+       This directory is removed and is recreated at the beginning of each test, 
+       However some of the files may be read only and cannot be deleted.
+       It is much better to remove this directory via the command line.
+
+       rm test/*;rmdir test/;./mirror_tests -n 100 -v
