The problem with these oops messages is that it is difficult to do automated analysis of them. I'd say that we could improve oops messages analysis, when it's something deemed harmless a TestWarning exception gets queued, and re-raised when the test is finished. The test will be marked as WARNING, which means something potentially bad happen, although not fatal. _______________________________________________ Virt-test-devel mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-test-devel
