Issue #6028 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Needs More Information to Rejected

I think you've got it around the wrong way and we're not picking it up.

$factpath is where the facts are read from.
$libdir is where the plugins are synced to.

If you incorrectly set libdir to /var/lib/puppet, then the facts would sync to 
/var/lib/puppet/facter and a factpath of that location would work.

It sounds like you're doing something odd with either confusing 
factsync/pluginsync, or setting vardir badly.

This is pretty much impossible to protect against, but if you find more 
specific info, please feel free to reopen.

Bug #6028: first run of puppet agent removes everything in /var/lib/puppet/
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6028

Author: Sandro Janke
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal

Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


We are in the process of migrating to puppet 2.6.x. Our master is running 
puppet 2.6.4 and I am updating all clients to the same version. The master has 
been rebuild from scratch on RHEL 6 Beta (soon to be upgraded to RHEL 6).

On clients running Fedora 14 or RHEL 6 Beta puppet agent commits suicide on the 
first run:

1. stop puppet agent
2. remove /var/lib/puppet/ssl
3. run 'puppet agent --test --waitforcert 30'

Puppet agent creates the CSR which I sign on the master. Once puppet agent 
continues it removes all directories in /var/lib/puppet. All that is left after 
the run is /var/lib/puppet/facter

The same procedure works fine on a Fedora 13 node.
