In my testing today I killed the extra processes when the automake checks were running and gzip did indeed pass without any errors. > I'm happy enough to revert back to E2fsprogs-1.42.5, but it will > probably have to wait until around the 28th-29th. I'm not quite ready to give up on E2fsprogs-1.42.6 because I think it only is a problem in jhalfs. AFAICT right now, the test actually passes, but leaves an unwanted background process running. I'm not sure we want the -k in the make check. I get: 125 tests succeeded 0 tests failed Perhaps if we kill the debug fs in jhalfs when we finish the checks, that would clean things up. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
