Hello,
I read that there is several problems about custom facts on this list.
However, none is serving my task exactly so I start another. (Topic
»custom facts in legacy puppet 0.24.[89]« is the might be the same issue
but that gets no answer.)
My problem is that I have to serve clients with different versions of
puppet. The systems running ubuntu with 0.25.4 work perfect but I have
problems to bring custom facts to the systems running silly SLES 11.1
with puppet version 0.24.8.
The first think that I recognise, is, that puppet itself deletes
/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter at the very begin of all puppet run:
debug: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Changing checksum
debug: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: 1 change(s)
debug: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]/checksum: Replacing /var/lib/puppet/lib
checksum {mtime}Wed Nov 10 15:51:11 +0100 2010 with {mtime}Wed Nov 10 16:27:14
+0100 2010
notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]/checksum: checksum changed '{mtime}Wed
Nov 10 15:51:11 +0100 2010' to '{mtime}Wed Nov 10 16:27:14 +0100 2010'
debug: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]: Changing ensure
debug: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]: 1 change(s)
debug: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]: Removing existing directory for
replacement with absent
notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]/ensure: removed
As that is alarming me I did no find any location where the file
/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter is defined in all manifest, modules or source
of puppet. So my first question is, where do puppet get this file
resource from? And why do it means that it has to remove it? (By the
way, it seems that this path is only purged when »factsync = true« is in
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf.)
When I try to ensure that directory to exist it will be deleted on
every begin of the run and created at the end. But it will always be
empty.
An other point that I found in debug log is that sometimes there is an
error about not existing (not mounted) /facts on the puppetmaster. (The
client prints that, the master work fine.) I tried with or without
»[facts]« section in /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf. Both work well with
clients version 0.25.4 but none work with version 0.24.8. (Well. the
error message is different. But the result is the same.)
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/facts]: Failed to generate additional resources
during transaction: Fileserver module 'facts' not mounted
and/or
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/facts]: Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: Fileserver module 'facts' not mounted Could not describe /facts:
Fileserver module 'facts' not mounted
For now I tried many to debug this stuff, puttin several .instpect to
the ruby code but did not find any anchor where to search exactly or how
to get ridge of this problem.
As I told, with the ubuntu machines that all worked instantly from the
description.
Anybody a hint what to try else?
Regards
Klaus Ethgen
