Jira (FACT-236) Facter RPM should not require virt-what
Title: Message Title Matt Dainty commented on an issue Re: Facter RPM should not require virt-what I've been wandering around trying to find out why facter is not giving me ec2 facts on EC2, (it turns out this is due to them being in a VPC and the MAC-based detection logic doesn't work). For virt-what not working, I think all you're missing is this: mount -t xenfs none /proc/xen With that, /proc/xen is populated and virt-what correctly reports I'm in a domU and therefore facter too. I just include a mount resource if virtual reports xen or xenu to enforce this.

Jira (FACT-236) Facter RPM should not require virt-what
Title: Message Title Adrien Thebo commented on an issue Re: Facter RPM should not require virt-what The Facter dependency was explicitly added as part of http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20017, so I think that removing the dependency is not something that we can take lightly. That being said, I'm not sure what the actual issue is - is the main issue due to how Facter is resolving the virtual fact, or how it's resolving the ec2 fact? If it's the latter there are fixes in the master branch of Facter that we're backporting onto Facter stable that should be released in Facter 2.1; see FACT-185 for more information about that.

Jira (FACT-236) Facter RPM should not require virt-what
Title: Message Title Glenn commented on an issue Re: Facter RPM should not require virt-what The issue is that facter is not correctly identifying the instance as an ec2 instance. This is because it's not resolving the virtual fact correctly (see the bugs that I linked). Because it's not identifying the instance as an ec2 instance, it is also not resolving the ec2_* facts. FACT-185 is a duplicate of this issue. Does that help?

Jira (FACT-236) Facter RPM should not require virt-what
Title: Message Title Glenn commented on an issue Re: Facter RPM should not require virt-what I understand the reluctance to remove the virt-what dependency. Perhaps adding code to work around this particular issue with ec2 instances inside AWS VPC's. Perhaps, FACT-185 does just that. I posted a comment in that ticket trying to determine if this particular case was tested (an ec2 instance inside a VPC with virt-what installed on it).

Title: Message Title Glenn created an issue Facter / FACT-236 Facter RPM should not require virt-what Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Eric Sorenson Created: 21/Jan/14 6:16 AM Fix Versions: 1.7.4 Priority: Normal Reporter: Glenn There is a bug in virt-what that causes facter to behave incorrectly. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=973663 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7559#note-71 I'm currently in the process of updating my automation to install facter (and thus puppet) as gems instead of RPM's due to the fact that the RPM (after v1.6.10) requires the virt-what package which causes the bug mentioned here to manifest. When this bug manifests, facter does not resolve ec2 facts. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7559#note-70 It appears that there is no 'hard' requirement on the virt-what package as facter appears (to me) to behave correctly without this package installed. Please remove the dependency so that we can continue to use RPM's for package installation. Add Comment
