Describe steps to reproduce…
create a server mount point, inside which place a file and a symlink pointing to the file
deploy the file to a server using puppet
update the puppet configuration to deploy the file via symlink
puppet deploys the symlink not the linked file Desired Behavior:
symlinks within puppetserver mountpoints should work correctly Actual Behavior:
puppet deploys the symlink not the file the symlink points to. Please take a moment and attach any relevant log output and/or manifests. This will help us immensely when troubleshooting the issue. Examples:
Run puppet agent with --test --trace --debug Relevant sections of /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log or any applicable logs from the same directory. For more detailed information turn up the server logs by upping the log level in the server's logback.xml Relevant sections of configurations files (puppet.conf, hiera.conf, Server's conf.d, defaults/sysconfig) For memory issues with server heap dumps are also helpful. |
