Re: file resource checks source even if the file exists and replace is false The file type docs say: Note that this only affects content; Puppet will still manage ownership and permissions. Which means puppet still needs to retrieve the owner/group/mode from the source.

Re: file resource checks source even if the file exists and replace is false This behavior is expected if puppet is managing permissions (so it needs to query the remote source to determine what the correct permissions should be). However, if you set source_permissions => ignore or if you explicitly specify the owner, group, mode, then I would not expect puppet to require the source to exist.
