Loic I don't use teuthology-kill simultaneously only sequentially. As far as run time, just as a note, when we use 'stale' arg and it invokes ipmitool interface it does take awhile to finish.

Sure, two teuthology-kill simultaneously should not deadlock and that needs to be fixed. But the easy workaround to avoid that trouble is to just not let it run forever. Even for ~200 jobs it takes at most a minute or two. And if it takes longer it probably means another teuthology-kill competes and it should be interrupted and restarted later. From now on I'll do timeout 120 teuthology-kill .... || echo FAIL! as a generic safeguard. Apologies for the troubles. -- Loïc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
