Issue #10238 has been updated by Adrien Thebo. Status changed from Needs Decision to Tests Insufficient
The more that I've thought about it the more I've realized that facter isn't designed to update dynamically generated facts like this, and trying to shim that behavior would be too hard. As it stands this fact is great though. Would you be willing to write some tests to verify the behavior of this fact? ---------------------------------------- Feature #10238: Add support for identifying block devices to Facter https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10238 Author: Jason Gill Status: Tests Insufficient Priority: Low Assignee: Adrien Thebo Category: library Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: I've written a simple fact for Facter which parses /sys/block/ on Linux to identify block devices attached to the machine. This fact is serving as a good base for a hardware RAID querying fact that I'm working on, so I hoped to get it added to a future release of Facter. Additionally, users of the Puppet Inventory Service could find this quite handy for identifying the disks attached to machines (we have hundreds of servers with a large number of different disks and we're trying to identify machines that have older or slower drives still in use). You can find my code [over at github](https://github.com/jasongill/facter-factpack/blob/master/blockdevice.rb) Example output from a machine with 2x Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller arrays and a CD drive: blockdevice_sda => DELL PERC H700 blockdevice_sdb => DELL PERC H700 blockdevice_sr0 => TEAC DVD-ROM DV-28SW blockdevices => sda,sdb,sr0 Example output from a machine with two Western Digital SATA disks: blockdevice_sda => ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 blockdevice_sdb => ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 blockdevices => sda,sdb I'm open to feedback (or please close this if I'm out of line suggesting a new fact that I wrote) - this is my first real Ruby work! -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
