Empty/Remove Puppet Clientbucket

Question

The /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket is filling up on one of my servers very quickly and taking up all of the inodes.

Am I safe to run rm -r '/var/lib/puppet/clientbucket/*'; without any negative effects other than no backup option?

Is there a way to stop Puppet from using clientbucket?

Answer 1

Please be sure you are not using filebucket and do not need any files restored from filebucket after puppet deployment.

If you really don't need filebucket - yes, you can delete what's inside the folder without being afraid of the consequences. If you aren't using filebucket, and do big deployments, it really can fill up too much. As long as you don't use filebucket, it's totally safe and won't fail your puppet runs.

Have fun!
