File resources impose a different kind of load upon the server, as when they have a remote source the client needs to request file metadata in order to compare locally and determine whether or not the file contents need to be retrieved from the server. If you have lots of File resources, multiple concurrent clients, and are still running with the webrick Puppet master, you'll see performance degradation like this. If you have deep recursive directories in a File resource, you'll run into similar issues. If you have very large files, the default checksumming will take a while. There are a few parameters that are designed to help with these cases. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file Have a look at recurse and checksum. -- Nigel Kersten Product Manager, Puppet Labs Twitter: @nigelkersten *Join us for **PuppetConf *<http://www.bit.ly/puppetconfsig> September 22nd and 23rd in Portland, Oregon, USA. * * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
