Issue #2883 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
Status changed from Investigating to Accepted
That patch won't do (it always just returns nil) but the idea is sound.
I've been working essentially this same issue with another site. The fix I
think we're looking for is:
return nil if ['directory','link'].include? stat.ftype

Bug #2883: puppetd runs slow when recursively coping symlinks, produces "Failed
to retrieve current state of resource" error
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2883
Author: Andy Bakun
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Markus Roberts
Category: fileserving
Target version: 0.25.2
Affected version: 0.25.1
Keywords:
Branch:
I'm using puppet 0.25-1 (ubuntu packaged), and when managing symlinks, puppetd
runs REALLY slow, and I get this error for every symlink
<pre>
err: /File[/path/to/symlink]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource:
Could not read /path/to/symlink: undefined method `_file' for
#<Puppet::Type::File::Content:0x7ff85d459c98>
</pre>
this patch seems to fix it: http://pastebin.com/m31c39d1f
Run time is reasonable with this patch (650+ seconds down to 15 seconds, which
was about the time it took to execute with puppet 0.24), and it doesn't seem to
cause any issues with the actual management of the symlinks (I have a tree of
symlinks I'm copying recursively).
