I’ve just installed Chef 11.6.0-hotfix.1 and while it has fixed some of my  
file problems, I’ve still got one issue. (This works fine in 11.4.4-2). I’m  
wondering if anyone else has seen this (or if I’m the only sad admin who  
has to support Linux and Windows systems in the same cookbooks)

I have the following 2 recipes (checks for internally developed services):

sensu-x1batch-checks.rb:

service “sensu-client” do  
action :nothing  
end

template “/etc/sensu/conf.d/worker-batch.json” do  
source "sensu-confd/worker-batch.json.erb"  
owner node[‘sensu’][‘user’]  
group node[‘sensu’][‘group’]  
mode "0644"  
notifies :restart, “service[sensu-client]“  
only\_if {File.exists?(”/etc/sensu/conf.d”)}  
end

sensu-x1interactive-checks.rb:

service “sensu-client” do  
action :nothing  
end

template “/etc/sensu/conf.d/worker-interactive.json” do  
source "sensu-confd/worker-interactive.json.erb"  
owner node[‘sensu’][‘user’]  
group node[‘sensu’][‘group’]  
mode "0644"  
notifies :restart, “service[sensu-client]“  
only\_if {File.exists?(”/etc/sensu/conf.d”)}  
end

Most systems in our stack run either batch or interactive. A few run both.

On the ones that run both, the first recipe called works fine, but the  
second throws an error:

Interesting issue… Thanks for sharing… Looks like one of the template is failing while trying to “move” the file (atomic update - a new feature of 11.6).

A few questions & ideas Brian:

- What is the windows flavor you are working on?
- Looks like the files are going to “C:”. Is the source of the template also on the same drive?
- How is the “/etc/sensu/conf.d/” directory is created?
- Can you check the ACLs (permissions) on that directory before the run and after a chef-client run?
- Can you try setting atomic\_update = false in these resources and see if that works for you?

Thanks,  
Serdar

Subject: [chef] More fun with 11.6.0-hotfix.1 and Windows file access

I’ve just installed Chef 11.6.0-hotfix.1 and while it has fixed some of my file problems, I’ve still got one issue. (This works fine in 11.4.4-2). I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this (or if I’m the only sad admin who has to support Linux and Windows systems in the same cookbooks)

I have the following 2 recipes (checks for internally developed services):

sensu-x1batch-checks.rb:

service “sensu-client” do  
action :nothing  
end

template “/etc/sensu/conf.d/worker-batch.json” do  
source "sensu-confd/worker-batch.json.erb"  
owner node[‘sensu’][‘user’]  
group node[‘sensu’][‘group’]  
mode "0644"  
notifies :restart, “service[sensu-client]“  
only\_if {File.exists?(”/etc/sensu/conf.d”)}  
end

sensu-x1interactive-checks.rb:

service “sensu-client” do  
action :nothing  
end

template “/etc/sensu/conf.d/worker-interactive.json” do  
source "sensu-confd/worker-interactive.json.erb"  
owner node[‘sensu’][‘user’]  
group node[‘sensu’][‘group’]  
mode "0644"  
notifies :restart, “service[sensu-client]“  
only\_if {File.exists?(”/etc/sensu/conf.d”)}  
end

Most systems in our stack run either batch or interactive. A few run both.

On the ones that run both, the first recipe called works fine, but the second throws an error:

Perhaps helpful for diagnosing it:

If I delete worker-batch.json and worker-interactive.json then run  
chef-client it runs cleanly. If I re-run the client it errors out with  
access denied / same stack trace.

I am using c:/etc/sensu/conf.d/ as the base directory, so chef shouldn't  
have to guess what volume I'm referring to.
