Matt Schuchard commented on PUP-6397   Re: File autorequire in Mount causes dependency loops The issue reported by Mikhail is apparently something we all missed at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/type/mount.rb#L307. That regexp needs to be tightened and maybe a new spec test added for that situation he described. As for the File[/x] -> Mount[/x] # Forced by PUP-6099 Mountpoint[/x] -> Mount[/x] -> File[/x] # What we would want to do that is a good idea to me. Puppet needs something to differentiate between creating a directory and applying permissions to it since mount occurs between the two and the same File resource cannot be declared twice. Maybe add a new attribute to Mount that creates a directory if it is missing like with the managehome attribute in the User type? Either way, funny how PUP-6099 ended up revealing both the gap in autorequire/autbefore spec testing and now the gap in file ensure vs. permissions and the relationship between directory creation, mounting, and directory permissions in Linux versus the expectations of Puppet.
