[Gluster-devel] Side effect of the metldown fix for regression

[Michael Scherer]

Hi,

so it seems that the meltdown fix did slowdown regression testing, as
told to me by Nigel (after Nithya pointed this looked like timing
issue). 

After a quick discussion on irc, we suspect this might be the lack of
pcid for the rackspace hosts.

So the good news is that we have a fix:

The bad news is that we can only add it to builder in the cage, which
is unfortunate.

A ticket was opened to rackspace by Nigel, and I will watch over it to
have it fixed ASAP.  

In the mean time, I am taking care of fixing it in the cage as a backup
plan, but that might need a reboot of the various builders (and that's
always fun to hit "put that node offline" 40 times 2 times, because
jenkins is hard to automate with our configuration).
