Hello there,
I've done the strace as suggested and I found that puppet is doing an open
and lstat of all files in a user's directory which contains a large number
of files.
I was reading about it and I found about the "recursive => false" used when
dealing with this kind of problem, as it happened before, however I could
not find a way to implement it, assuming this is the solution.
I tried to put it this way:
file { '/home/user5/.ssh/authorized_keys2':
owner => user5,
group => user5,
mode => 0600,
require => Users::Useraccount['user5'],
source => "puppet://
sw-zabbix.abc.com/files/standard_debian/home/user5/.ssh/authorized_keys2",
recurse => remote,
}
but it doesn't make any difference and puppet starts scanning all the
billion of files in the home directory of that user.
Can you please help on this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Marco
