[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#979450: booth: autopkgtest fails on ci-worker-ppc64el-01 (but apparently not on other ppc64el workers)

[Paul Gevers]

Source: booth
Version: 1.0-237-gdd88847-1
Severity: important
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: flaky issue

Dear maintainers,

booth has an autopkgtest, great. However, today I noticed that booth
failed in the glibc test on ppc64el while most of the time it passes. I
found a pattern in the failures on ppc64el: it always happens on
ci-worker-ppc64el-01. This host is our first ppc64el host, and in
contrast to the other three host it has a spinning disk therefor has
slightly lower IO performance.

Apart from this delta in disk, I'm not aware of other changes between
our hosts. Do you have any idea why the test would only be failing on
this host?

Paul
