Dear puppet masters 

I would like to request the following feature.  Please make it possible to 
manage block devices with the file provider.

E.g. having:

<pre>
file {
  '/dev/mapper/mylun:
    ensure => blockdev;
}
</pre>

makes it possible to use the following
<pre>
file {
  '/mnt/mylun:
    ensure => directory,
    require => File['/dev/mapper/mylun'];
}
</pre>

I can already say that the code that checks if the path is a blockdev should 
follow symlinks.
