Whilst evaluating a move to puppetsever/puppet 4 I couldn't help but notice that the default location for 'vardir' has moved to /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache
This is a bit worrisome, because that's not either /var or /var/opt and breaks the principle of least surprise. It's worse than that though Jim, because the puppetserver package actually alters the config files to put this setting in the [master] setting (I raised a bug for this) So the historical sensible default which pointed to a bit of filesystem which for the majority of sane folks will be a well managed bit of disk (adequately sized, for example, and not eating into ones root filesystem because someone at least glanced at the FHS) has changed to one that requires overriding, I expect, in the pretty much every case. Why has the vardir moved from /var? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
