Issue #21284 has been updated by Charlie Sharpsteen. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision Assignee set to eric sorenson
Thanks for reporting this. However, pre-empting possible misuses of file replacement is a very large problem surface and attempts at detection may be incomplete or unreliable. A better solution may be to provide an option that minimizes Puppet's use of the `statedir`. ---------------------------------------- Bug #21284: puppet apply --lastrunfile=/dev/null does bad things to special devices https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21284#change-93183 * Author: Jason Birch * Status: Needs Decision * Priority: Low * Assignee: eric sorenson * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.1.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- I don't need puppet reports right now, and am working on a system with a limited /var partition. I thought I could work around this temporarily by doing something like: puppet apply --no-report --lastrunfile=/dev/null --lastrunreport=/dev/null --postrun_command='rm -rf /var/lib/puppet' .... Unfortunately, due to changes introduced at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/e40439196af14f90d8a321999b782f24a3fa59f6, my /dev/null is turned into a regular file. It would be good if puppet could fail fast in the case of options like lastrunfile taking parameters that don't make sense, or to not change permissions on that file if they are something else? I'm sure the real solution is more nuanced. Regards, JB -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
