FAIL: /usr/lib/mdadm/ptest/tests/04update-uuidFAILED - see /mdadm-testing-dir/04update-uuid.log and /mdadm-testing-dir/fail04update-uuid.log for details

Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2023-08-03 14:51:11 UTC

Alexis should collect this log when this fails?

Comment 2 Alexis Lothoré 2023-08-03 15:17:25 UTC

/usr/lib/mdadm/ptest directory should have indeed been retrieved since ptest failure has been detected

I suspect a lost patch. I do not see "core-image-ptest: append ptest directory to artifacts list" nor in oecore neither in poky. This patch is the one telling ptest images to retrieve ptest artifacts whenever a test fails.

Comment 3 Alexis Lothoré 2023-08-03 15:40:49 UTC

After discussing it with Alexandre, the patch may have been left because of ongoing discussions. I have to take a look back at those and possibly send an updated version

Comment 4 Ovidiu Panait 2023-08-18 13:19:29 UTC

A patch that skips running 04update-uuid and 07revert-inplace testcases has been sent to oe-core:
https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/186367

These two testcases are unreliable with mdadm-4.2 and have been failing intermittently on the AB. I was not able to reproduce the failures locally and the logs cannot be retrieved after an AB run, so I think they should just be skipped for now.

Comment 5 Richard Purdie 2023-09-06 21:13:44 UTC

Dropping AB-INT from whiteboard as test disabled on autobuilder

Comment 6 Pavel Zhukov 2024-01-24 21:47:30 UTC

This bug "fixed" by disabling ptests for mdadm [1]
Once upstream makes new release we may want to revisit this decisions and re-enable the tests together with cleaning up downstream patches.
