There were multiple systems, 1 - 2G at most. Most had an inactive (unintentional) swap partition, it hadn't been a problem pre-puppet. And, it wasn't a problem until the puppet server reached about 90 clients. All the RHEL 4 systems were in crontab as 0/30, so they all hit at the same time. We

Hi I had this observation on RHEL 5 systems as well. Also with encrypted swap on a luks device. With direct swap I never encountered this problem. I came to the conclusion that I can't blame puppet for the problem as the problem occured even with puppet turned off. However I could reduce it to a
