What happened previously was that puppet used the "filetimeout" setting to throttle how often it would stat all of the manifest files that it had loaded. If any of those files had changed, then it would trigger a reload, but not before the "filetimeout" expired. This had the side effect that if a new file appeared, it wasn't guaranteed that puppet would pick it up unless another file that it was already watching changed as well. In effect the new system trades off reparsing the manifests for reducing stat calls. Sometimes that will end up being faster, sometimes that will end up being slower. -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Developers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to puppet-dev+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-dev/f2bbcce2-f001-4170-a69a-9502b44e6d24%40googlegroups.com<https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-dev/f2bbcce2-f001-4170-a69a-9502b44e6d24%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Andrew Parker a...@puppetlabs.com Freenode: zaphod42 Twitter: @aparker42 Software Developer *Join us at PuppetConf 2014 <http://www.puppetconf.com/>, September 22-24 in San Francisco* *Register by May 30th to take advantage of the Early Adopter discount <http://links.puppetlabs.com/puppetconf-early-adopter> **—**save $349!* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
