Filebucket backup takes too long

[Karim]

Hi guys,

I'm new to Puppet, and I'm playing with filebucket. I saw some strange behaviour whereby a file being backed up will be fully copied to the master server, but then the client will wait a few minutes before ending the backup operation. Here is a debug log of the backup..

$

The thing is that before printing out the last line, the command paused for perhaps 5 or 10 minutes. The file was already copied to the master in a few seconds. Any idea why this is happening? The file is quite big. Around 30MB. Does this matter?

I'm running Puppet 2.7.6.

Any help appreciated.

Karim
