Issue #3520 has been updated by James Turnbull. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information
Not sure how we resolve this since we're calling the command? Should we delete the archives before running rmlist in the type? ---------------------------------------- Bug #3520: removing maillist uses huge amount of memory http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3520 Author: Peter Meier Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: maillist Target version: Affected version: 0.25.5rc1 Keywords: Branch: Setting a maillist resource to absent causes to puppet to use a huge amount of memory (up to 1G and then my server was often knocked out or I remembered that bug and terminated puppet). My guess is that this seems to happen because maillist removes the archive directories etc. which can be pretty huge. But if I remove first the archive directories by hand and then run puppet it removes a maillist immediately and as it should. So somewhere in calling @rmlist@ there is something that causes to allocate that much memory. Unfortunately if you run it it with --debug --verbose etc. it won't tell you anything it just hangs at the same position where it would hang in normal mode. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
