[Gluster-devel] Need volunteers for spurious failure fixing on master

[Justin Clift]

Hi us,

Although we've fixed a few of these spurious failures in our git master
branch, we still need a few more people to help out with the rest. :)

This is important because these spurious failures affect *everyone*
doing any kind of development work on GlusterFS.  With these fixed, our
regression runs will be a _lot_ quicker, more predictable, and we'll be
able to iterate on our code much faster.

So... who's ok to help with some of the ungrabbed ones below? :)


Need someone to investigate + create the fix
********************************************

  * tests/bugs/disperse/bug-1161886.t

    Fails tests 13-16 because of missing inode.h when building (possibly
    unnecessary) helper C program

    14:04 < JustinClift> Is that a missing dependency that should be
          installed on the regression test slaves?
    14:05 < jdarcy> That's a really weird one.  It doesn't happen every
          time.
    14:06 < jdarcy> It's *our* inode.h, which should totally be present
          long before the test needs it, but somehow it fails to find it
          once in a while.
