I've only ever seen this happen in one other case, and it was related to NFS - something caused Puppet to back up a whole filesystem to the filebucket: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2019 It'd be awesome if you can track down the problem, because we're stymied. As to why the individual file names are in the 'paths' files - that's what they do - hold the paths that have been backed up there. -- Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate and captain of your soul. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
