----------------------------------------
Refactor #6654: Mount provider incompatible with AIX's /etc/filesystems
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6654#change-67268

Author: Jacob Helwig
Status: Duplicate
Priority: Normal
Assignee: eric sorenson
Category: mount
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: aix
Branch: 


The mount provider is based on parsedfile, which line oriented.  The 
/etc/filesystems (/etc/fstab rough equivalent) on AIX is paragraph focused.  
Being based on parsedfile makes the current mount provider fundamentally 
incompatible with AIX.  See the [example in IBM's 
documentation](http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.files/doc/aixfiles/filesystems.htm).

Also, the current Mount type & provider maintain an /etc/fstab on AIX, which is 
completely unused by AIX.
