Re: [Libguestfs] Long running nbdkit tests

I pushed a change which should reduce the time taken in the test-cache-* and test-cow.sh tests. Again note this is double TCG which is the worst case for these tests and explains the excessively long times which wouldn't be seen on a normal build system. Updated results: 01:04:18 PASS: test-readahead 01:02:32 PASS: test-cow.sh 00:37:25 PASS: test-floppy.sh 00:34:57 PASS: test-shell 00:34:53 PASS: test-linuxdisk-copy-out.sh 00:33:57 PASS: test-partitioning3.sh 00:33:46 PASS: test-perl 00:33:38 PASS: test-partitioning5.sh 00:33:38 PASS: test-memory 00:33:28 PASS: test-ocaml 00:33:11 PASS: test-lua 00:32:33 PASS: test-tcl 00:32:16 PASS: test-offset 00:31:48 PASS: test-xz 00:31:47 PASS: test-xz-curl 00:30:19 PASS: test-partitioning2.sh 00:28:57 PASS: test-linuxdisk.sh 00:28:46 PASS: test-data 00:28:24 PASS: test-gzip 00:27:57 PASS: test-ext2 00:27:49 PASS: test-curl 00:27:16 PASS: test-iso.sh 00:25:56 PASS: test-nbd [all others < 7 mins] Analysis of what these tests do as in the previous email: test-readahead G Fx2 test-cow.sh Gx2 test-floppy.sh G Dx2 test-shell G test-linuxdisk-copy-out.sh G Dx4 test-partitioning3.sh G test-perl G test-partitioning5.sh G F test-memory G test-ocaml G test-lua G test-tcl G test-offset G test-xz G test-xz-curl G W test-partitioning2.sh G F test-linuxdisk.sh G D test-data G test-gzip G test-ext2 G test-curl G W test-iso.sh G test-nbd G D = using libguestfs download or similar APIs F = using libguestfs "fill" APIs which write lots of data G = guestfish/libguestfs W = curl/webserver xN = runs multiple times test-readahead needs more work. test-cow.sh is obdurately difficult to test. The others are good tests so there's probably not much we can or should do to them.
