Hello list, In our company we use puppet to configure our ec2 instances. we start our servers with fresh instances debian lenny, some small and some large.
we install puppet like this: apt-get -y --force-yes install ruby1.8 rubygems1.8 gem install puppet --include-dependencies --version 0.24.8 --no-rdoc -- no-ri ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/puppetd /usr/sbin/puppetd ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/puppet /usr/sbin/puppet ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/facter /usr/bin/facter and create a puppet client config file: echo "[puppetd]" > /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "logdir=/var/log/puppet" >> /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "vardir=/var/lib/puppet" >> /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "rundir=/var/run" >> /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "server=<%=env_puppetmaster_fqdn%>" >> /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "masterport=<%=pm_apache2_lb_port%>" >> /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "pluginsync=true" >> /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf echo "factpath = /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter" >> /etc/puppet/ puppetd.conf and start a first puppetrun with /usr/sbin/puppetd --test -v --waitforcert 120 The problem: sometimes (not always) the client "breaks", uses 100%CPU, runs manifest very very slowly and sometimes never finishes. Killing the Client after puppetd -v --test --debug shows: debug: //Node[default]/milter-sms/milter-sms::mimedefang/Runit_service [mimedefang-multiplexor]/File[run-logfile mimedefang-multiplexor]/

/usr/sbin/puppetd:19 notice: Shutting down debug: Storing state debug: Stored state in 0.37 seconds debug: Storing state debug: Stored state in 0.52 seconds The problem: sometimes this never happens on one ec2-instance. we can start new "fresh" instances and sometimes it always works with the same manifests file. we have different "roles" in our environment with different manifests/ classes/modules and when we start a puppetrun on role1 and another on role2 it happens that role2 fails and role1 not. Starting the run again sometimes both fail, sometimes both are ok, sometimes they switch. puppet mostly "stops" when creating checksums of configuration files (template based or via fileserver-mount) and at the end of the puppetrun. Files which are checked at the beginning of the puppetrun (because this Files are first checked because of require/subscribe direcives) always gets done fast. Files which are checked at the end hangs on md5summing. The thing is that I cant reproduce this problem when I want to. Deleting /var/lib/puppet/* and running the client does not always helps. Anyone experiences the same problem sometimes or could give a hint what it could be?
