We have /etc/grub.conf in there; that should be a symlink
to /boot/grub/grub.conf. Does that not work for you ?
(I hesitate to make that change because we'll have the same file
show up
twice in the tree, opening the door to all kinds of interesting
conflicts)

The problem that I am running into is actually a combination of
augeas and puppet. The way puppet seems to work with augeas is that
it runs the augeas commands against the existing file and creates a
copy. It then checks if the copy and the original are the same if
they are it removes the copy and does nothing. If they aren't it
replaces the original with the copy. In the /etc/grub.conf case
this causes the symlink to be replaced by a regular file. Obviously
this is a problem because grub doesn't actually look at /etc/grub.conf.
I can work around this by telling puppet explicitly which lens to
use. I just thought it was weird that the lens matches several files
non of which grub actually reads directly on at least RedHat and I
assume any other recent linux distro.
Nathan,
Very timely, I'm about to attempt to control grub with puppet+augeas on
RHEL systems. can you post your final that deals with this issue please?
thanks
You have to set the incl and lens parameters rather than the context
parameter. See below for an example.
#
# remove "rhgb" and "quiet" from every kernel title line, if present
#
augeas { 'grub.conf/no_rhgb':
incl => '/boot/grub/grub.conf',
lens => 'grub.lns',
changes => [
'rm title[*]/kernel/rhgb',
'rm title[*]/kernel/quiet'
],
}
