How is your puppetmaster running? How many clients do you have? I think these errors come from the fact that the master is overloaded and doesn't answer to the file resource request in a timely way, so a timeout triggers. Usual advice: if you run with webrick, use something that is more scalable (including passenger or nginx+mongrel). -- Brice Figureau My Blog: http://www.masterzen.fr/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
