Viewing the process tree doesn't show anything new, it doesn't look like puppet is forking any new processes. It's just using more and more memory and 94% of CPU. This happens even if I run the provisioning after everything is set up so it doesn't even have to do much.
Something I left out from my original post is that I'm running in a vserver environment. When I tried to replicate that environment locally in my vagrant box by disabling swap space and setting memory to 512MB puppet didn't have a problem, so this could be vserver related. Does anyone have a similar experience? On Monday, April 28, 2014 4:14:45 PM UTC+2, Ádám Sándor wrote: > > Thanks for the reply.
