[Gluster-devel] Glusterfs v4.1.1 issue encountered while executing test case ./tests/basic/namespace.t

[Vijay Bellur]

Hi Abhay,

Would it be possible for you to change the namsepace.t and trash.t (as
discussed in IRC) tests to work with both endian architectures?

Both failures seem to be linked to the issue that SuperFastHash() provides
different values on little & big endian architectures. You could do
something like `lspcu | grep "Little Endian" to determine the endianess and
this value can be used to have the right behavior in tests.

Please feel free to let me know if you need more assistance in fixing both
namespace.t and trash.t tests.

Regards,
Vijay
