Running with "-v" should give more details about what's failing. I set up a basic loopback server like: mkdir /mnt/{server,client} exportfs -o rw,sync 127.0.0.1:/mnt/server mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/mnt/server /mnt/client and then ran: ./t0032-reftable-unittest.sh --root=/mnt/client -v Looks like it fails at: running test_reftable_stack_compaction_concurrent_clean reftable/stack_test.c: 1063: failed assertion count_dir_entries(dir) == 2 Aborted > v2.43.2 seems to work OK. For me, too. Bisecting shows the problem appearing in 4f36b8597c (reftable/stack: fix race in up-to-date check, 2024-01-18). -Peff PS That test seems to run ~20x slower on NFS versus directly on ext4. I'd expect a little overhead, but that's quite a bit.
