Indeed using df on *NIX is probably the correct approach, although Facter also has to support Win32. These sort of facts will make much more sense when we have proper encapsulation of facts and a richer internal model. For now if you are writing a fact for submission for df please see the wiki for submission/review process: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Development/DevelopmentLifecycle Paul --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
