Comment 6 arthurguru 2012-11-07 22:56:10 UTC
I have two MTA hosts that run exactly the same software and both have been suffering the same puppet problem at the same time for a number of months.

I've just installed the latest epel-testing version of facter on one of the hosts and will report back if it solves this puppet problem.

Comment 7 Michael Stahnke 2012-11-08 19:04:28 UTC
Upstream bug for the facter/openstack issue reported: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17493

Comment 8 arthurguru 2012-11-09 04:30:16 UTC
Since the last 2 days on trialling two hosts that regularly report puppet hangs.

MTA1 host running facter-1.6.6-1.el6 (from epel repo)
Puppet daemon required a restart 3 times 

MTA2 host running facter-1.6.14-1.el6 (from epel-testing repo)
Puppet daemon required a restart 0 times

Comment 9 Michael Stahnke 2012-11-09 22:45:41 UTC
Probably going to add this patch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/351.patch which should fix the Ec2 issues.

Comment 10 arthurguru 2012-11-15 22:35:41 UTC
Since the last 8 days on trialling two hosts that regularly report puppet hangs.

MTA1 host running facter-1.6.6-1.el6 (from epel repo)
Puppet daemon required a restart 11 times 

MTA2 host running facter-1.6.14-1.el6 (from epel-testing repo)
Puppet daemon required a restart 0 times

How soon can we get a formal release of facter into the EPEL repo?

Comment 19 Andreas Zuber 2012-12-11 10:27:46 UTC
There is an important fix since facter 1.6.14 regarding RHEL KVM detection:

https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8210

It only works if virt-what is installed. Otherwise the virtual fact will not work correctly in some cases.

I suggest you add virt-what as a dependency to facter.
