Now the timeout is transfer_timeout, I created a variant called 'remote', that is supposed to use vm.copy_files_* methods, that are implemented for both windows and linux, and made things easy for people to implement new methods of doing this file transfer (nfs, samba, etc). As a bonus, now the test works on windows too :) For now, there's only file_transfer.remote, that uses scp for linux, and rss transfer for windows. In case you don't know what rss is, is a remote shell server that was created for kvm autotest, since we had a lot of problems in the past getting openssh fully functional and working across all the windows versions. We found out that our own, simple remote shell server was way more effective to perform tests on windows. http://autotest.kernel.org/browser/trunk/client/tests/kvm/deps/rss.cpp I am running tests against some windows guests to make sure I got everything right, will publish the new version of the test when I'm done. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
