In testing this patch, I'll point out that I was using new enough automake that gives us parallel testing, and a command like 'make -j3 check' did not see ANY appreciable delay - we spend more than six seconds on other tests, such that the sleep time of this new test was mostly offset by the other tests running in parallel. Still, it's probably worth an option for pruning this and other sleeps from the testsuite when run by a developer. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
