RedHat released some update kernels that reintroduced a bug from the 2.6.13 Linux kernel. You can run any of the code in this gist to check if your kernel suffers that: https://gist.github.com/441278 The C code is obviously a pretty good choice, as it excludes Ruby entirely from the problem space, and will confirm if that is your root cause. (The bug is that select on a file in /proc hangs for a long time, possibly forever, and Ruby will use select on a file if there are enough handles open. This happens in some daemon configurations.) > > - Gonzalo > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. -- Daniel Pittman ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
