RE: Connectathon Issues

["Rupert Dance" <rsdance@soft-forge.com>]

Steve,

We tried uncommenting the code but we are still seeing failures. We are
running Connectathon on a variety of systems pairs testing both Mellanox and
Intel Hardware. Most of the combinations pass the Connectathon Basic,
Locking and Special tests but fail the General tests with the error message
"Nroff ./stat: no data in nroff.time"  

There are several other combinations that cause other errors:

1. The test hangs and no error is reported.  In these cases the client
system MUST be restarted before it becomes usable again. The server system
is restarted to get back to a known good state and clear the exports before
restarting testing

2. Connectathon Basic test hangs with the client system displaying: ./test5:
read and write

Thanks

Rupert

Taking a closer look there is code that is commented out that will solve
this problem.

# if the default time command doesn't return the right format, # you may
have to use the following lines #case `uname` in
#[lL]inux*)
#   TIME=/usr/bin/time
#   ;;
#*)
#   TIME=/bin/time
#   ;;
#esac
#if [ ! -f $TIME ]
#then
#   TIME=/usr/bin/time
#   if [ ! -f $TIME ]
#   then
#       echo "Where is the time command?"
#       exit 1
#   fi
#fi

Maybe its time to uncomment it...
