Bug #4914: mount provider slows down linearly w/ number of mounts
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4914

Author: eric sorenson
Status: Closed
Priority: High
Assignee: 
Category: mount
Target version: 2.6.7
Affected Puppet version: 0.25.5
Keywords: mount provider flush
Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/commits/ticket/2.6.x/4914


The mount type/provider doesn't maintain any state between invocations. It 
appears to call /sbin/mount for each mount resource and looks through its 
output to determin if the filesystem currently under question is already 
mounted. This doesn't scale well on systems with a large number of mounts (say, 
several hundred) which are all managed through puppet, because each invocation 
takes a few seconds to complete... 

It'd be better if some form of pre-fetching were used, similar to the yum 
provider, so puppet can just consult its in-memory list of mountpoints.

An additional refinement would be to only flush after the last mount resource 
were evaluated as this can also be expensive to do.
