Issue #4904 has been updated by Felix Frank.
More to the point, the mount type has a very counterintuitive semantics wrt. ensure. ensure => present implies that the device should not be mounted. If it is, a puppet run will try to unmount it. This is currently expected behaviour, but violates the principle of least surprise. ensure => present should maintain the fstab entry, and not care about the mounted/unmounted state of the device. The error as reported by the John is a consequence of this unexpected behaviour. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4904: mount type attempting remount when ensure => present http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4904 Author: John Warburton Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.5 Keywords: mount remount tempfs Branch: I am on Solaris 10, with puppet 0.25.5, and trying to manage /tmp. Note that /tmp can't be remounted on a live system (http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/Talking+about+RAM+disks+in+the+Solaris+OS) Thats fine, I will use "ensure => present" which according to the documentation " set to present to add to fstab but not change mount/unmount status" mount{ "/tmp": atboot => "yes", device => "swap", ensure => present, pass => "-", fstype => "tmpfs", options => "size=4096m", } Changes /etc/vfstab as expected, but yields this error: err: //solaris/Mount[/tmp]/ensure: change from mounted to present failed: Execution of '/usr/sbin/umount /tmp' returned 1: umount: /tmp busy notice: //solaris/Mount[/tmp]: Refreshing self info: Mount[/tmp](provider=parsed): Remounting err: //solaris/Mount[/tmp]: Failed to call refresh on Mount[/tmp]: Execution of '/usr/sbin/umount /tmp' returned 1: umount: /tmp busy My reading of the documentation is that the mount type shouldn't try to remount with "ensure => present" However, it seems as the provider is refreshable, that it overrides any other setting -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
