RE: RE: test failure on .36

I finally figured out what my problem was. I had compiled subversion under my home directory which is a NFS mounted partition. When I ran the regression tests, the NFS caching would get screwed up and cause a test to randomly fail. I also saw some other weirdness with my server that leads me to believe that the NFS code in RH9 might have some issues if you hit it really hard.

Moving everything to a local disk solved all the problems.

Thanks! Kevin

This is on redhat 9.

Since the problem was exhibited in both the file and http tests, I was assuming the problem was on the server side and not the client side.

Is that possible?

I've been developing, running and testing SVN on a 2-cpu WinXP box for
quite a while now, and haven't seen anything similar. Besides, the
client and the tests run in a single thread; there can be no races there.

(Note that there can be a race between the client and the server, and
these show up on Windows in the test cleanup processing; we have code in
the test suite that "fixes" that.)
