635501 - Investigate why w32-ix-slave23 times out during hg clone

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[Rail Aliiev [:rail]]

I see a batch of failed builds while hg clone on w32-ix-slave23:
http://production-master03.build.mozilla.org:8010/buildslaves/w32-ix-slave23

Hopefully it's not due to bad disk.

I tried doing a clone by hand to see how long it would take, but I forgot about the 2-minute SSH timeout.  So, for the record, it takes longer than 2 minutes.  Copying spencer to see if this might be related to the slow IX problem.

We have previously identified this slave as slow.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6.14/BuildNotes#Build_data

It took an hour longer to build the en-US build.

FTR, someone already disabled buildbot on this slave. I'm betting it has the slow I/O issue.

It was me. I forgot to mention that I pulled the slave out of pool.

This has gone back to IX in bug 596366.
