[chef] Re: Segmentation fault when I upload cookbooks

[Geoff Meakin < >]

I had this the other day, it seemed to happen for me when I was running it in a subshell without a tty attached (I was doing knife commands via bash $( ) declarations. When I switched to using expect, or had a tty assigned, it worked fine.

Not sure if thats any help…

A segmentation fault is generally a bug in ruby itself though

Hi all,

I'm getting the following segfault when I upload cookbooks to chef server:

    /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/chef/checksum_cache.rb:174: [BUG] Segmentation fault
    ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [x86_64-linux]

When I run "knife cookbooks upload -a", the process of uploading works fine until it breaks with a segfault. If I re-run the upload process, sometimes it breaks in a diferent cookbook from the previous one, and sometimes it works fine.

I'm running chef server and clients on Debian Squeeze amd64.

I would appreciate any help.
