Issue #7203 has been reported by Sean Millichamp. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7203: "Too many open files" on Puppetmaster shouldn't corrupt client system state https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7203
Author: Sean Millichamp Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7 Keywords: Branch: We have been experiencing the bug related to abandoned MySQL connections that has been covered in other bug reports. As a result, the Puppetmaster occasionally runs out of available file handles until it is restarted. Usually, this prevents new Puppet runs from occurring and all is well in the sense that nothing on the managed servers is significantly impacted. However, I just noticed that in one such instance Puppet on the client side actually replaced a previously valid system file with the contents "Too many open files - /path/to/puppetmaster/modules/modulename/files/expected_file.sh". This, fortunately, did not render the system unusable but we use Puppet to manage certain critical system files that, if corrupted in such a way, WOULD render the system unusable until booting in single user mode and manually repairing, etc. The Puppetmaster should check on the result of its attempt to read and serve files and if it can't open the file for any reason it should not return the error message of the attempt as contents of a file for the Puppet client to execute with. This is with Puppet 2.6.7 on the Puppetmaster and Puppet 2.6.4 on the client. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
