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`. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
