Issue #10418 has been updated by Mike Ryan.
I would just like to add a couple of data points regarding this ticket. The reports all seems to refer to RedHat-based systems, and mention some old kernel versions, but the problem is much more widespread. Some of my servers have recently exhibited the exact same symptoms as those described in this ticket, however I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with an up to date kernel. This bug would pop up intermittently, when absolutely nothing had changed on the instance. I could reliably reproduce it by running 'puppet apply' over and over again until it hung. strace showed it was reading some files from /proc just before it started hanging, so it appears to be the same bug. Updating facter to 1.6.12 seems to have fixed it - thanks for the updated version and fix. ---------------------------------------- Bug #10418: Puppet agent hangs when listen is true and reading from /proc filesystem on redhat https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10418#change-70846 Author: Jo Rhett Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.12 Keywords: enabledisable hang select proc listen redhat Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/304 Mon Oct 31 23:03:31 +0000 2011 Puppet (notice): Caught TERM; calling stop Ever since the 2.6.12 upgrade I've been seeing these reports reach us. As in, about a hundred of a half thou machines. Most of the time we find that $vardir/state/puppetdlock is in place and blocking further puppet runs, which requires a manual resolution. I wrote a quick cron script to look for puppetdlock files older than one hour, remove them and mail me a report and I've received several dozen in the last few hours. Something is clearly broken in 2.6.12, we are backgrading our systems to 2.6.11. No-- I have no other information than that it crosses all of our machine types, and we have had no significant changes in our modules in this time period. Many of the machines which have failed have had zero module or manifest changes which would apply to them. I cannot get this to replicate on the command line. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
