Issue #8239 has been updated by Adrien Thebo. Status changed from Investigating to Accepted
I was wondering what happened to the relevant facter ticket, and it looks like it languished in an old ticket queue. The Process.waitall is definitely the suspect here, and I'll see if this can be solved by making Facter a little bit smarter about waiting for children. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8239: zombie getconf processes, possibly from facter https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8239 Author: Giles Constant Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Adrien Thebo Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1 Keywords: getconf zombie defunct Branch: I'm seeing this..

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.
