Figures that I get completely different results with kfreebsd 8 kernel.
(Presumably the install test isn't an issue because my user doesn't have
multiple groups--will still look at that.)
tests/tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2 fails, which I'm not even sure is
relevant. (No inotify; maybe have the test check the config status?
Fails because tail dies at some point when the file disappears,
presumably a race condition.)
That test should pass irrespective of inotify availability.
I've spun it for 20 mins now on linux with inotify disabled without issue:
while true; do
(cd tests && make check TESTS=tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2 VERBOSE=yes) || break
done
Can you reproduce and perhaps get a backtrace?
cheers,
