Sent a pull request for a temporary fix of this to https://github.com/cryptographrix/facter/tree/16005-infiniband-ifconfig-warnings This is a very temporary fix, as it just suppresses the warnings from ifconfig within facter on Linux systems only. It does not manage the output from STDERR or check for infiniband and use ip in that situation (Bug #1415 - "MAC addresses are truncated for Infiniband"). This WILL help get through distributions and versions of Linux that have not upgraded ifconfig to a version that supports Infiniband. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16005: Puppet agent generates ifconfig warnings on InfiniBand systems https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16005#change-71288 Author: Mark Dixon Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: agent Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18 Keywords: infiniband ifconfig Branch: Hi, I'm currently running puppet 2.7.18 with CentOS 6.3 and RHEL 6.3. I have some systems with InfiniBand network cards and IP addresses configured on those interfaces. When puppet starts up, I get the following message printed 112 times on stderr: <PRE> Ifconfig uses the ioctl access method to get the full address information, which limits hardware addresses to 8 bytes. Because Infiniband address has 20 bytes, only the first 8 bytes are displayed correctly. Ifconfig is obsolete! For replacement check ip. </PRE> This is somewhat annoying. Could puppet start using the `ip` command and save my sanity, please? :) Mark -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
