OK, but we need to figure out why this happens. I looked further at this one, and all that's going on is normal channel startup repeated many times over the course of a testsuite run; eventually one fails. Like you say, intermittent. My gut impression from observing various testsuite runs is flush issues happen on this kind of normal startup quite infrequently, but still too frequently. In this particular case, the testsuite started 3 nodes about 50 times (stopping all 3 after the start); the failure occurred on the 3rd node in the ~50th cycle. I think Clebert's suggestion on the forum of using some JBM test infrastructure to automate doing this over and over w/o wasting time running actual JBM tests is a good one. Do you have bandwidth to pursue such a task? [/url] View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4187749#...
