    How long should make check normally take to run for a serial
    build? After 'make check' was hanging for me at testphdf5 when
    building HDF5 with parallel support, make check now seems to be
    hanging when testing btree2. It's been at the same spot for 30
    minutes or more, but this time, I see the process (lt-btree2)
    using CPU and memory in top, just not much of it. Is this normal?
    I would expect file I/O tests to only take a few minutes, not 30+
minutes.

Prentice -- sorry I can't solve the problem of the make check hanging, but I use the following setup which might be useful to you too:

   export HDF5_ALARM_SECONDS=180           # Reduce timeout for bad case.
   export MPIEXEC_TIMEOUT=360              # Give HDF the chance to
   fail first.

   set +e                                  # My script uses bash -ex,
   but we don't want to exit-on-error here.
   make -i -k check                        # Make sure everything runs.
   Use -i so it continues past erroneous cases.
   set -e

So the bad cases abort after 3-4 minutes (depending on whether the HDF5 test-driver times out, or the MPI daemon). But the +e and -i -k flags force all the tests to get run, so at least I get a complete picture of what worked and what didn't.

I'm running into problems with applications that use HDF5/NetCDF/PIO hanging or failing and am wondering if this is an issue with my file system as well.
Thanks,
