Hi,

Round 2 review for bug 7066541.
*7066541 installing several zones in parallel sometimes fail: [Errno 17] File exists: 
'/var/tmp/install' <http://monaco.sfbay.sun.com/detail.jsf?cr=7066541>*

Webrev:
https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/widjaja/7066541_rnd_2/webrev/

This includes Ethan's request to fix the later error exploited in the bug 
report where instantiation of AutoInstall class in auto-install.py didn't 
happen properly for whatever reason.
Python folks should review and comment on whether what I am doing is python 
enough or if it's even valid. Trying it out in python shell seems to work fine.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi all,

Can I request at least 2 reviewers for this quite simple fix for bug 7066541?

I don't have much luck trying to create the issue listed in the CR during 
multiple zone installs in parallel. I have tried many methods, including the 
use of a script to run 5 zone installs, and have executed this over and over, 
but so far I have not been able to create the race condition (system too 
slow?). At this point I am requesting the filer to help test since he seems to 
be able to produce the race condition much  more easily and consistently.
Good news is I've tested this multiple times, and no regression is seen so far.

Additionally, I've created a slightly different version for detecting the race 
condition during testing by adding an else/print statement corresponding to the 
if statement on line 258.
That version of the file can be copied from 
10.132.145.50:/export/home/mwidjaja/logger.py.

If anyone has a better idea on producing a much more frequent and consistent 
race condition for a parallel zone installs, please let me know.

Thanks,
Martin
