Hi I had this observation on RHEL 5 systems as well. Also with encrypted swap on a luks device. With direct swap I never encountered this problem.
I came to the conclusion that I can't blame puppet for the problem as the problem occured even with puppet turned off. However I could reduce it to a problem when suddenly a lot of swap is used and the systems should swap very fast, for example when munin processes limits or when a php process uses suddenly a lot of memory. I was never able to reproduce this problem on a solid basis, however what helped was to give more memory or turn encrytped swap off (which somehow has other drawbacks). this only happened so far in virtualized systems. so imho it's more a kernel problem related to memory usage... :-/ cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
