Bug #11159: File resource does not work with '/' to reference root
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11159#change-80429

The File resource does not work with '/' to reference root, such as to 
ensure/audit the owner, group and mode, but '/.' does work. Perhaps it is being 
over-enthusiastic in removing trailing slashes?

This doesn't work:
    file { '/':
        ensure => directory,
        owner  => 0,
        group  => 0,
        mode   => 0755,
        #before => *[*], # everything :-)
    }

This does work -- and is a reasonable workaround (though mildly annoying and 
not exactly blindingly obvious at first):

    file { '/.':
        ...
    }
