G'day all I've got the following two lines in my site.pp: # Define the bucket filebucket { main: server => puppet } # Specify it as the default target File { backup => main } Which I added based on something in the best practices page. Thing is, I've got a couple of servers that

I think i had a similar problem some time ago. The best way around it (whoa that's a loaded statement : ) ) is to: Move your recursive etc pushout into a module, and tell anything that also wants to write into /etc to do so with a require => File["/etc"], That way your /etc/ from your preferred s

[Puppet Users] Strange order dependency

Hi, list: I'm a rookie on his first tests with Puppet and I found something that it's probably obvious but that still don't understand. I have some modules that manage some files under /etc/ (say, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ntp.conf, etc.) and then, since I "inherited" quite a lot of files managed

What is the best way to map out all my depencies (is there a way to chart them somehow?) I am finding no matter how many places I put notifies, requires, etc. I still end up having to two 2-3 runs of puppet. Very frustrating. On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 11:57 AM, Nigel Kersten wrote: > On Thu, Ma

I don't suppose its your stack size? Whats the output of 'ulimit -a' on your box (as the user you were trying to run those command as of course). Mine is 8192 kb. Can you try it with a later version of Ruby from RHEL 5.4? On Apr 8, 9:50 pm, Rob McBroom wrote: > I suspect this has more to do with

[Puppet Users] Puppet commands giving nothing but a stack trace

I suspect this has more to do with Ruby than Puppet, but I know little about Ruby and Google has failed me, so I'm asking here. I'm finally getting some of our older systems brought into Puppet. I installed it on several this morning without incident, but there are two (more or less identical R

That's definitely reasonable and probably worthwhile. And having this be an internal puppet type that could parse the output of rsync and report errors, etc... would be ideal. Trevor On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 6:22 AM, Dan Bode wrote: > > > On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 2:15 AM, Thomas Bellman wrote: >>

Hi. I'm in need of setting a few variables for groups of nodes/computers, and could use some advice on how to set this up. I'm just about to start using a extlookup.rb setup, which in the default setup enables me to set variables based on facter information (plus the "common" default file). I nee
