That's the only possibility - on OBS it's extremely hard to predict the load on CPU / disk, e.g. tests/rm/ext3-perf.sh is spuriously failing because rm(1)'s duration exceeds 60 seconds (although we're using 'make check-very-expensive' without -j N there) ... while it takes only 14s locally. However, your patch looks good. Thanks & have a nice day, Berny
