RE: extraneous copy

[Craig Dawson]

I have been seeing this on my RedHat machines for a while.  I am seeing this on 
the 1.6 version and was hoping it would go away in 2.0.7, which I am switching 
to now.  It seems like it started happening when we added more client systems, 
like cfd was getting overloaded.  If you find out what is happening, please 
send a reply.  Thanks,

Craig Dawson

Subject: extraneous copy 


Is anyone else seeing the following:

We get sporadic but frequent redundant copy actions whenever we set
type=checksum, meaning a copy occurs even though server and client
files exist and are identical. It happens a few times per day,
but on which server and what time are not readily predictable.

Setup is i386 Solaris 8 with cfengine 2.0.7p3, with servers running
cfexecd hourly from crontab.
