12:04:13 <nikolam> what distrubted file system on illumos in general to use? (SmartOS or in VM)

18:47:59 <gitomat> [illumos-gate] 18176 nvme sctostr test fails -- Robert Mustacchi <rm⊙fo>
21:34:22 <sommerfeld> so my predraft IPD 63 has some formatting glitches around double-underscore when my doc is displayed on github.   I don't see this in the html generated by the asciidoc CLI python script.   anyone bump into this?
21:35:30 <sommerfeld> source has:   Illumos defines `LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE` as `(__global_locale())`
21:36:00 <sommerfeld> and github treats the `__` as "go italic", while the CLI doesn't treat it as special.
22:00:07 <richlowe> when I was using asciidoc for arm64-gate documentation, I think someone suggested (maybe a random website? maybe someone here?) that I use asciidoc and asciidoctor
22:00:41 <richlowe> I can't imagine how parsing _ within ` as special isn't a bug in something though.  
22:33:45 <sommerfeld> found another site on github where they used +++<code>__enter__</code>+++
22:44:29 <sommerfeld> and that appears to have done the trick..
22:48:08 <richlowe> I wish I understood why
22:56:43 <richlowe> gwr: one thing you could do with tests, though I don't endorse it, is this:  1) a rule `skip_pattern` that takes a list of regular expressions of ests that would be found  but should not be run (see also, the ZFS noise, a useful tool for `autotest` too).  2) the general concept of arch-specific rules, I don't know how ConfigParser allows for it, but for eg you accept rules of the form `i86pc.tests =`, `i86pc.timeout = `, and crucially 
22:56:44 <richlowe> `i86pc.skip_pattern`.  You can then do `aarch64.skip_pattern = [r'\.32$']` for the 32-bit ignorance, and can also tune things like timeouts for platform variability.  With extension (the 'arch' value alone is a bit shit), that would help oxide-y environments to othat are not i86pc but are intel.
22:57:46 <richlowe> I say "I don't endorse it" in the sense I came up with it in the bath after wherever people last chatted about tests, and have not thought about it further :)
22:57:52 <richlowe> it might be great, I'll accept praise :)
23:25:46 <richlowe> it would also let me skip known failures easily, where a test circumstantially needs a facility not yet on illumos/arm
23:26:04 <richlowe> like the sleep test using dtrace in its implementation
