Issue #10418 has been updated by Igor Ajdisek.
Updating to facter 1.6.12 seems to fix it also on RHEL5, but i ran into strange issue, it seems only facter-1.6.12-1.el5.i386.rpm is available on puppet YUM repository, and yum reports the following error: package facter-1.6.11-1.el5.i686 (which is newer than facter-1.6.12-1.el5.i386) is already installed ---------------------------------------- Bug #10418: Puppet agent hangs when listen is true and reading from /proc filesystem on redhat https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10418#change-71046 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.
