Description Eryu Guan 2010-06-02 09:53:14 UTC 
Please correct me if I choose wrong component

Description of problem:
When test causes a kernel panic, test will stop as "Complete Warn" and  "External Watchdog Expired", there is no log/backtrace to indicate this is a kernel panic.

RHTS, on the other hand, will show you the result as "Aborted-Panic" or "Aborted-Fail" along with the full console log (with backtrace in it).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version - 0.5.40

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Schedule test /kernel/filesystems/btrfs/online-balance on RHEL6.0-Snapshot-4 (after snapshot 5 this bug is fixed)
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Result is "Complete Fail" without backtrace log

Expected results:
Result is "Aborted-Panic" or "Aborted-Fail" with full console log

Additional info:
The same test in Beaker and RHTS

Comment 1 Bill Peck 2010-06-09 21:12:59 UTC 
This is fixed now.

By default we do live monitoring for panics.  So if a system panics it won't wait for the watchdog to expire.
