FYI, >From 0ec711b5c4c5094fa206115a666e5878f463a07f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering <meyer...@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:56:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tests: inotify-rotate: avoid race condition with overloaded disk
* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: Wait 50% longer for grep to succeed. Without this change, this test would fail consistently when using "make -j25 check" with F15 in a virtio- and spinning-rust-backed virtual machine. --- tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate b/tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate index 3d02855..f9aa80f 100755 --- a/tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate +++ b/tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate @@ -24,12 +24,12 @@ fi .
