Do be aware, however, that it is distinctly problematic to manage a mount
point directory with Puppet, because the operating system actively
obfuscates the distinction between the mount point itself and the root of
the remote filesystem mounted on it (if any). This is an intentional
feature of UNIX and similar systems. That will present a problem for you
if you want to manage the mount point, but you don't want to (or can't)
manage the mounted filesystem root, which is a rather common situation.
As it happens, another current thread suggests as good a solution as I've
ever come across: use an Exec to create the mount point directory if it is
absent. That would look something like this:
exec { "Mount point $mountpoint":
command => "/usr/bin/install -u root -g root -m 0755 -d $mountpoint",
creates => $mountpoint,
before => Mount[$mountpoint]
}
