Hi,
I decided to give this LTP release a try on my workstation, and there were quite a few test failures. Is that expected? I expect that some of the failures are probably related to kernel features I have turned off (I try to get rid of stuff I don't need where possible).
If the failures are not expected, what should I do? Would the log file be of any help? Are there any extra options I should supply? I just ran:
./runltp -p -l result.yyyymmdd.log
If failures are expected on some systems or with some kernel configuration options, then let me know, and perhaps I can diff log files between kernel versions to look for new failures.
Thanks,
