+Subject: [PATCH] mdadm: skip test 11spare-migration
+
+11spare-migration is a test series to check mdadm Monitor migrates spares
+according to rules in /etc/mdadm.conf defined by POLICY lines.
+
+[snip]
+for scan in no yes; do
+       for platform in 1.2 imsm; do
+               try
+       done
+done
+[snip]
+
+"try" includes near 20 sub testcase, so there are nearly 80 subcases need to run,
+so it will take long time than ptest-runner timeout limit, skip it as workaround.
