30+mins *does* seem a bit long. Typically, a ‘make check’ for me completes *all* tests in a total of about 10-15 mins at the most.
Where (e.g. on which kind of filesystem) are you trying to run ‘make check’? For parallel tests, you *should* be using a parallel fileystem. I frequently forget about that. If the parallel filesystem is *extremely* busy and/or not setup to deal with small I/Os and/or files (as the tests generate), I could see there being *some* additional delay in completion. The btree test I think is testing HDF5’s internal btree data structures for group objects. So, if its doing any I/O I think its a bunch of tiny HDF5 metadata stuff. Can you kill -9 that one process and see if it proceeds to completion on remaining tests?

How long should make check normally take to run for a serial build? After 'make check' was hanging for me at testphdf5 when building HDF5 with parallel support, make check now seems to be hanging when testing btree2. It's been at the same spot for 30 minutes or more, but this time, I see the process (lt-btree2) using CPU and memory in top, just not much of it. Is this normal? I would expect file I/O tests to only take a few minutes, not 30+ minutes. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
