Description

Hi,

I just spent longer than necessarily trying to figure out why Puppet was failing Exec resources. It was because /tmp had 32000 directories in it. It isn’t terribly obvious from the error output that Puppet’s trying to mkdir() and not open() a file in /tmp

We don’t specifically handle this, and it isn’t an unreasonable request, but I have not done the investigation to know if this is even possible for us to report in a way that doesn’t require wrapping every single file operation in specific handling for the problem.
