No idea for the sparse file, it may be regression test for some problem they had in 2001, unfortunately there is no more documentation for the test. Googling revealed that the test has catched deadlocks in Linux 2.5.1. The 120 seconds is IMHO arbitrary large constant, something like 50 times more than the test usually takes. -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
