Hi.
I currently have a problem setting up fstab options without interfering
with whatever software is currently using the mounts (or not).
More precisely, these are devices shared between two hosts where only
one host can have them mounted at a time (via DRBD).
The behaviour I'm trying to achieve is similar to what the service type
allows: Set defaults without changing its current state (ensure vs.
enable). Back to the mount type, this means I want the type to allow
updating of /etc/fstab (or netinfo) without having an effect on the
current status of the mount.
Currently the type allows for ensure:
absent => unmount, remove from /etc/fstab
present => add to/update in /etc/fstab, mount
What I would like would be (but see below):
absent => remove from /etc/fstab (I don't care about the unmount here)
mounted => ensure its correctly in /etc/fstab, make sure its mounted
present => ensure its correctly in /etc/fstab, remount if already
mounted and options changed
perhaps: unmounted => ensure its in fstab, make sure not mounted
So as not to change the current semantics of the type, we could
introduce a new parameter: handle_mount with values:
true => unmount/mount like before
false => never mount/unmount/remount
remount_only => only remount if mounted and options changed,
don't mount/unmount
I currently worked around the issue by using a rather complicated exec.
Should I open a ticket?
regards,
Sven
PS: While my Ruby skills certainly improved over the past weeks, I still
don't understand types/provides in puppet fully yet... I will try to
take a stab at implementing this next weekend perhaps...
