Issue #3569 has been reported by Ian Burrell. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3569: Recursively removing existing directories follows symlinks instead of removing the symlink http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3569
Author: Ian Burrell Status: Unreviewed Priority: High Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: Branch: I added force to a rule to create a symlink. One machine had a directory instead which contained a symlink. The recursive backup followed the symlink and deleted all of the files in the directory pointed to by the symlink. Which caused the web site to go down as all the source was removed. The expected behavior would be to delete the symlink the directory that was being removed. This happened with Puppet 0.24.7 but I checked the source and it looks like it has the same bug. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
