I see these sorts of hangs all the time with lots of testing going on on a big collection of both real and virtual machines using NFS and ssh and wot-not. I don't know exactly what the heck network timeouts timeout on, but I often get things hung for hours with network problems. Somehow networks go down but act like they are up :-). I finally put independent fallback timeouts in my test drivers to kill things off after they haven't finished in about 300% of the time they normally take. That at least stopped things from permanently clogging the test queues. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
