Problem
In
test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count
, the pageserver is sometimes mysteriously hanging on startup, having been started+stopped earlier in the test setup while populating template tenant data.test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count
failure #7586We can't see why this is hanging in this particular test. The test does some weird stuff though, like attaching a load of broken tenants and then doing a SIGQUIT kill of a pageserver.
