Hi,
Please help to review the fix below for bug 6962637
<http://monaco.us.oracle.com/detail.jsf?cr=6962637> TEST_BUG:
java/io/File/MaxPathLength.java may fail in busy system
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/90659131/fixes/6962637/webrev/index.html
Root cause is the test is not reliable when system is busy, if disk
space is changed by some other program, test can fail. so the fix is
to check file.length() instead of disk space.
Thanks for liberating another test, I remember that used to fail
regularly when there was other activity on the system (or when running
with -concurrency:auto where there are tests running concurrently).
I see you are exchanges mails with David about the dir.length check that
you have added. I don't think it make sense and that check should be
removed.
