Issue #7300 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
The ensurestate of `:ghost` was introduced in 2.6.7. This was necessary because
when the user has something like
mount { 'foo':
ensure => mounted,
}
And the mount is not in fstab, puppet has to know whether it has to add an
entry to fstab and then mount the device (change from :absent to :mounted) or
it only has to add an entry to fstab (change from :ghost to :mounted).
My patch now also supports :mounted, :umounted and :ghost when running `puppet
resource mount`
If I understand you correctly Nigel you just want to retrieve `mounted` and
`unmounted` mountpoints when running `puppet resource mount` (pre 2.6.7
behaviour)?
If that's true I can modify my patch (in fact it makes the patch simpler) but I
didn't know if it is desired behaviour to NOT show ghost mounts.

Bug #7300: "puppet resource mount" reports wrong mountstate
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7300
Author: Stefan Schulte
Status: Ready For Testing
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Stefan Schulte
Category: mount
Target version: 2.6.9
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.7
Keywords:
Branch: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/tree/ticket/2.7.x/7300
In 2.6.7 the instances method of the mountprovider is broken:
<pre>
% puppet resource mount /
mount { '/':
ensure => 'unmounted', # obviously wrong
[...]
target => '/etc/fstab',
}
</pre>
Since puppet-2.6.7 the behaviour of the mounttype has changed (in order to fix
#4914). The Mounttype doesn't run the mountcommand anymore when `retrieve` is
called. Instead it relies on the prefetched value of the mountprovider.
But when running `puppet resource mount`, puppet uses the `instances` method
(instead of prefetch). Because the `instances` method just parses `/etc/fstab`
every mount is reported as `unmounted`.
