Looks like the testcase tries to assert that fsync() finishes in reasonable time. Which is 120 seconds and if I'm right the amout of data it writes to the file is about 8MB and that seems to be fairly reasonable unless you system is under heavy load. One of the problems may be that it uses BUFSIZ for the size of the buffer, which is defined in my glibc to 8192, if that constant is defined substantially larger on your system the test may easily fail. -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
