Coupled with this being an MPP not SMP, things can occur within the same microsecond, or in weird situations slightly before or after when comparing the clock on different CPUs. Yes, time-travel is possible at the single microsecond level 😉. Cores are synchronized, but our machine has 4 CPUs and synchronizing the file system across all of them does lead to slightly strange situations.

I tested my patches with

	sh t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh --stress-jobs=8 --stress-limit=10

Why don't you check out my branch, build and test, and then we know
whether it fixes your t7519 bug?

Ciao,
Johannes
