Yeah, I meant ‘kill -9’ not ctrl-C. I would expect ctrl-C to just abort the current command (e.g. ‘make check’). By killing the running process (lt-btree) alone, make check would just interpret that as some kind of failure and then move on to the next test.
Yes, you need a “true” parallel filesystem for any parallel tests. NFS will NOT work. Running on /local makes a lot of sense other than for parallel. Whenever I run on NFS, things take a lot longer due to all the contention for that shared resource.

Where (e.g. on which kind of filesystem) are you trying to run ‘make check’? Can you kill -9 that one process and see if it proceeds to completion on remaining tests? Since I'm working on a serial build, right now, I'm using scratch disk local to the node I'm doing my builds on, mounted as '/local' When I do a control-C, the whole 'make check' process appears to end, it doesn't go on to the next test. I'm now doing a build with minimal options specified in the configure step to see if maybe combinations of options was causing the problem. For parallel tests, you *should* be using a parallel fileystem. I frequently forget about that. Do you mean a shared filesystem, like NFS, or a true parallel filesystem like Lustre or GPFS? After realizing my stupidity of trying to do the parallel make check on my local disk, I did move it to an NFS filesystem.

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.
