This is a bug report for perl from slaven@rezic.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.26.1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On NetBSD systems t/io/fs.t may fail:
# Failed test 30 - atime at t/io/fs.t line 324
# Failed test 31 - mtime at t/io/fs.t line 325
# Failed test 36 - atime at t/io/fs.t line 324
# Failed test 37 - mtime at t/io/fs.t line 325
t/io/fs.t .. Failed 4/61 subtests
(less 5 skipped subtests: 52 okay)
Test Summary Report
-------------------
t/io/fs.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 61 Failed: 4)
Failed tests: 30-31, 36-37
Files=1, Tests=61, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.28 usr 0.08 sys + 0.20
cusr 0.11 csys = 0.67 CPU)
Result: FAIL
This happens if the filesystem where the test files are created
s mounted with noatime. Unlike on other OS, it's not possible
to change the accesstime using utime* on NetBSD in this situation.
A related issue with more discussion:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19293
Probably it's best to skip this test if $^O eq 'netbsd' and
`mount | grep $tmpdir` shows that noatime is enabled.
As a side note, it looks like the mtime test is also failing,
but this is a limitation in the test script --- probably the last
two fails in check_utime_result() should be differentiated.
And as a last note, I don't have a NetBSD machine to test --- the
problem was just suspected by me and confirmed by Nigel Horne.
