Yes that does match my expectations. I'm just curious to know how you
would implement this. The current patch returns unmounted in case of
»wrong device mounted« so that puppet remounts when it tries to enforce
ensure=>mounted. Now the following can happen

should: device => /dev/sda1
in fstab: device => /dev/sda1
actually mounted: device => /dev/sda2

Should puppet now report »device out of sync«? What if fstab states
'/dev/sda3'? What is the current value of »device«? Or you can create a
new value for ensure like "uncorrectly mounted". Then the user would
see "ensure is 'uncorrectly mounted' should be 'mounted'". I dont know
if thats such a helpful message.
