Issue #7300 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.

In my opinion showing these ghost mounts is "right" because - well they are 
mounts ;-). Maybe the name for these mounts wasnt that great but I guess that's 
another topic.

But I don't know puppetlabs' policy here. Not changing behaviour between minor 
versions (2.6.6 -> 2.6.7) is a valid argument. I don't know how may people out 
there will suffer from the change because they are purging mounts or in any 
other way rely on the output of `puppet resource mount`. So I would probably go 
for the second choice and only show mounts that do appear in fstab.

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`.
