Issue #10819 has been updated by Chip Schweiss.
I'm beginning to wonder the same thing. The problem of an instant hang up stopped at kernel 2.6.18-274.17.1.el5. But out of 44 nodes, I get about half a dozen per day that hang up randomly. Some on Centos 5.7 with kernel kernel 2.6.18-274.17.1.el5 and others on Centos 6.2 with kernel 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64. It seems more common on the Centos 6.2 nodes. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10819: Puppet agent hangs when 'listen = true' on Centos 5.7 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10819#change-54319 Author: Chip Schweiss Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.9 Keywords: Branch: If the 'listen = true' is set in puppet.conf, the client will start, create /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock and stall forever. Once the service is started 'puppetd --test' always returns: notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run notice: Run of Puppet configuration client already in progress; skipping If the service is stopped 'puppetd --test' runs normally. The syslog has only two lines: Mon Nov 14 12:30:17 -0600 2011 Puppet (notice): Reopening log files Mon Nov 14 12:30:18 -0600 2011 Puppet (notice): Starting Puppet client version 2.6.9 Operation is fine on Centos 5.6 until the kernel update from Centos 5.7 is applied. (kernel-2.6.18-274.7.1.el5) Removing 'listen = true' and operation returns to normal. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
