[New-bugs-announce] [issue15745] Numerous utime ns tests fail on FreeBSD w/ ZFS

[Trent Nelson]

New submission from Trent Nelson:

I've got two FreeBSD buildslaves running on ZFS (8.2 and 9.1) experiencing this:

I briefly stepped through the test on one of the affected slaves.  There's a rounding issue somewhere... I personally think this method is involved:

    def _test_utime_ns(self, set_times_ns, test_dir=True):
        def getattr_ns(o, attr):
            return getattr(o, attr + "_ns")
        ten_s = 10 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000
        self._test_utime(self.fname, getattr_ns, set_times_ns, ten_s)
        if test_dir:
            self._test_utime(support.TESTFN, getattr_ns, set_times_ns, ten_s)

I didn't have enough time to keep debugging, so I'm raising this as a placeholder until I can pick it back up again.
