This was on ubuntu1804-arm-1
Comment 3 Tim Orling 2021-05-06 15:22:51 UTC 
We think the TMPFS changes have likely made this no longer an issue.

If this happens again, please re-open.
Comment 4 Alexandre Belloni 2021-07-22 13:07:55 UTC 
Reopening but this build catastrophically failed:

Comment 5 Randy MacLeod 2021-07-22 14:47:33 UTC 
Is there something we can to make the test less load dependent?
Comment 6 Tim Orling 2021-08-05 15:07:45 UTC 
There isn't anything particularly useful in the log:

         'ERROR: Exit status is 9\n'

The previously reported test case (dist/Time-HiRes/t/ualarm) passed.

Unfortunately, we don't have any way of knowing what was running that returned the exit(9) or similar...
Comment 7 Tim Orling 2021-08-05 15:10:54 UTC 
RP mentioned that exit status 9 from the ptestrunner is for a timeout.
Comment 8 Tim Orling 2021-09-16 15:21:17 UTC 
Bug filed on ptest-runner to track improving the log output:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14552
Comment 9 Randy MacLeod 2022-01-06 15:45:20 UTC 
Hasn't happened since Sept 2021.
Comment 10 Tim Orling 2022-01-06 15:47:21 UTC 
Actually hasn't happened since July 20201.

ptest-runner changes are tracked separately.
