Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8589: ------------------------------------- What I'm trying to say is if the viewfs tests are confined to build.test.dir, then the mount path problems _and_ the trash problem are both solved. They are only orthogonal if you believe that viewfs should mount your home dir, and trust it to not munge the contents of you home directory, and/or your ~/.Trash if you are on OS X. This is at least the third jira to "fix" mounting home dirs. It always fixes for some & breaks for others. Are there drawbacks to confining the tests to mounts within build.test.dir? > ViewFs tests fail when tests and home dirs are nested > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8589 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8589 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs, test > Affects Versions: 0.23.1, 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Andrey Klochkov > Assignee: Andrey Klochkov > Attachments: HADOOP-8859.patch > > > TestFSMainOperationsLocalFileSystem fails in case when the test root > directory is under the user's home directory, and the user's home dir is > deeper than 2 levels from /.
