About a year ago there was a discussion about why a puppetmaster process was reparsing /etc/puppet/puppet.conf every 24 hours. The conclusion of that was that it was down to a backup package called Netbackup which was resetting the atime on the file as it backed it up. I seem to have a similar issue with a different backup package (Atempo Tina) that is not under my control so I cannot tell it to not reset the atime.
The problem is exacerbated by the fact that when my puppetmaster reparses puppet.conf, it crashes and disappears so every night at 02:00 my puppetmaster needs to be restarted :-( I'm running 0.24.8 still as I'm in the middle of a data centre migration and don't want to change anything critical until after I've gone live in the new DC. Is this something that has been fixed in newer puppet builds? I suspect there are two issues - one is the reparse just because the atime on puppet.conf is reset back to its original value and the second is the crash. -- Trevor Hemsley Infrastructure Engineer ................................................. *C A L Y P S O * Brighton, UK OFFICE +44 (0) 1273 666 350 FAX +44 (0) 1273 666 351 ................................................. www.calypso.com This electronic-mail might contain confidential information intended only for the use by the entity named.
