The root cause is not the host running out of disk: the sparse05 test ("listing sparse files bigger than 2^33 B") generates a file with 1000 fragments of 10 MiB of real data (~10 GiB), which cannot fit in the 1.4 GB ptest rootfs. genfile fails with ENOSPC and the test is normally reported as skipped, but the filesystem stays full for a moment, and when the autotest bookkeeping (status files, mkdir for test 176) hits that window the test is reported as FAIL and the next group cannot start. That timing explains why it looks intermittent. Patch sent to the list, skipping sparse05 and printing df at the start of run-ptest as suggested in comment 1: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/121269981 With the patch: 200 passed, 46 skipped, 0 failed, no ENOSPC errors. 106856 4 joaomarcos.costa 2026-09-17 12:07:10 +0000 https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/73/builds/4569/steps/15/logs/stdio qemux86-64-ptest debian13-vk-1 (Enzo's patch was not included in this one) 106932 5 randy.macleod 2026-09-24 15:04:44 +0000 Skipped test: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=d48e03cf74f15f532cc65e05090d6bb36284d1bc
