OK, I can see one big problem, the timeout command is being used to SIGKILL stress-ng - that means all the child processes get SIGKILL'd and hence abort without cleaning up. One ends up with a file system full of garbage files which will cause subsequent tests to break.
I suggest: 1. Sending SIGALRM to the child processes - this will tell them to stop and clean up 2. Remove any temp files after each test in case they are killed or die without cleaning up -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1640547 Title: stress-ng tests failing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1640547/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
