Issue #3581 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Review to Code Insufficient
This is a larger issue - anywhere that uses `fork` in the code can trigger it, and tagmail just happens to be the biggest offender. There is the start of a discussion here about how best to handle this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-dev/M32pl_Jxgw4 If anyone here has a strong view on that, please let us know, but regardless of what that works out I will shortly fix the problem so that not only tagmail, but all current uses of fork in the product are safe. I have marked this "code insufficient" because the change solves the tagmail issue, but doesn't get to the roots of the problem, and because that is significant enough I want to make sure we go there. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3581: tagmail + err: PGError: server closed the connection unexpectedly https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3581 Author: Jan Doleschal Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Daniel Pittman Category: stored configuration Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/ticket/2.7.x/3581 Hello all, got a strange issue with puppet 0.25.4, tagmail and postgresql connections. Having the following setup running - puppet0.25.4 and foreman. As DB backend works a PostgreSQL database. We are managing aprox. 50 Clients. OS is only SLES10SP2. Now, when running puppet i got after some minutes the following error: err: PGError: server closed the connection unexpectedly. This only happens when reports is set to tagmail. It seems that puppet tries to open a connection but then stalls. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
