Re: NFS utils package, and an fsx question

[Tom McNeal <trmcneal@attbi.com>]

What I see is this:

 - The tests fail most often when they are the only tests 
running, and nothing else is going on.  Generally, when I'm
doing the test run, I have all tests running 500 times, 
and I might see 2 or 3 of these failures.

 - The special tests fail with this error:

--
SPECIAL TESTS: directory /mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest': File exists
cd /mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest; rm -f runtests runtests.wrk READWIN.txt
Makefile op_unlk op_ren op_chmod dupreq excltest negseek rename holey truncate
nfsidem nstat stat stat2 touchn fstat rewind telldir bigfile bigfile2 freesp
cp runtests runtests.wrk READWIN.txt Makefile op_unlk op_ren op_chmod dupreq
excltest negseek rename holey truncate nfsidem nstat stat stat2 touchn fstat
rewind telldir bigfile bigfile2 freesp /mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest
runtests.wrk: runtests.wrk: No such file or directory
special tests failed
--

 - The general tests fail with this error:

--
GENERAL TESTS: directory /mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest': File exists
cd /mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest; rm -f Makefile runtests runtests.wrk *.sh *.c
mkdummy rmdummy nroff.in makefile.tst
cp Makefile runtests runtests.wrk *.sh *.c mkdummy rmdummy nroff.in makefile.tst
/mnt/first/usr/local/NFSTest

Small Compile
runtests.wrk: line 85: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
runtests.wrk: line 88: syntax error: unexpected end of file
general tests failed
--

I think the issue is distructive interaction between the two
tests, since I am running them in tandem, rather than in
succession, as is done normally.  They generally fail together,
either once or twice each, and then start completing successfully
again.
