Issue #8239 has been updated by Ben Hughes.
Are you able to recreate this on your set up with facter, or does it only happen via puppet please? copying the very first example to ~/lib/pf_pagesize.rb and running: "FACTERLIB=~/lib facter bf_pagesize" in a loop I could not get it to zombie. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8239: zombie getconf processes, possibly from facter https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8239 Author: Giles Constant Status: Investigating Priority: High Assignee: Ben Hughes Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.6 Keywords: getconf zombie defunct Branch: I'm seeing this.. [root@xxxxx001 ~]# pstree |grep getconf |-puppetd---574*[getconf] 574 getconf zombies! root 32530 17822 0 Jun27 ? 00:00:00 [getconf] <defunct> root 32532 17822 0 Jun29 ? 00:00:00 [getconf] <defunct> root 32546 17822 0 Jul05 ? 00:00:00 [getconf] <defunct> ...etc... Facter version 1.5.8, Puppet 2.6.6. I've had a look at the old bug relating to 'timeout' in resolution.rb, but setting it to an integer other than 0 didn't make the problem go away. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
