I've just noticed that the patch for b2_5 does not enable test 40; sanity-hsm.sh still has:

# bug number for skipped test:    3815     3939
ALWAYS_EXCEPT="$SANITY_HSM_EXCEPT 34 35 36 40"

Is there any reason why test 40 is not enabled for b2_5?

Maloo reports show no new occurrence for this particular failure of sanity-hsm/test_40 since 2014-07-19 04:36:22 UTC. This last failure shows slow but constant evolution of the 400 archive requests, even with local/tmp filesystem usage.

So I think we can assume that an other issue (last 4 failures between 2014-05-24 01:41:13 UTC and 2014-07-19 04:36:22 UTC have occured during review-zfs sessions, so any ZFS related slowness?) was causing slow archives even on a non-NFS/local archive area and it has been fixed.

And does anybody agree we can we close this issue as fixed ?

The logs of these auto-tests failures clearly show that hsm_root is in an NFS mounted fie-system

...........

and again a too slow draining of the 100 archive requests for test_40 ...

So could it be that something has changed in auto-tests/Maloo tools env. vars set, causing #7703 patch to need more to be done to force hsm_root in a local file-system ?
How can I check current auto-tools master sessions environment/configuration ?

Fixed for 2.5.1 and 2.6. Similar fixes for other tests can be tracked under a separate ticket.

Bob this failure, even if it looks of the same kind of problem, is against test_90 not test_40.
BTW, it is a good point for John's remark that others tests that do not require a shared storage should use the same fix I applied for test_40.

While validating patches for Lustre b2_5 branch, this failure occurred frequently:

Hi Bruno, I have a suggestion here. Can we determine which tests actually require that the HSM archive be on shared storage? I was thinking that perhaps only those tests should use shared storage and the other (normal) tests should use local /tmp on the copytool client. Based on a sanity-hsm run on 4 of my own VMs it seems that most tests are fine with a local HSM archive.

BTW, new auto-test session Change #7703/patch-set #6, now show successful run of test_40 with a local/tmp hsm-root/HSM_ARCHIVE.

[Bruno Faccini (Inactive)]

Now that TEI-1041 has definitely reverted ALL auto-tests settings causing sanity-hsm/test_40 sub-test to be disabled, I have re-triggered build (can not only re-trigger auto-tests since build has been removed during interval) of Change #7703/patch-set #6.
