Issue #7491 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
I think you're mixing title and name. The title of a resource has to be unique.
The namevar (in case of the mount type the namevar is called `name`, in case of
the exec type the namevar is called `command`) doesnt.
If the parameter is called `name` or `path` shouldn't make any difference. If
you want to have two mounts with the same name, you have to use different
titles and set the name parameter explicitly (you have to do the same if you
have two exec resources with the same command parameter).
so eg.
@mount { 'foo_mount_from_source1':
name => '/mnt/foo',
device => ...
}
@mount { 'foo_mount_from_source2':
name => '/mnt/foo',
device => ...
}
You can even realize both resources on the same host, but this will lead to
strange results.

Bug #7491: design flaw with parameters for mount type

<pre>
path
The deprecated name for the mount point. Please use name now.
</pre>
It is not desirable to always have name map to the path of the mount point.
Reasons below.
1) Consistency - not all resources require that name map to something useful.
ie: for the 'exec' resource you can specify the command to be run as the name
or you can specify a 'command' parameter.
2) One might want a descriptive name
3) With the current implementation, one cannot have multiple virtual resources
with the same mount path and realize based on some tag, because you will have
multiple resource/name's. This is common if you have different NFS devices
exporting data that goes into the same mount paths and you want to select a
certain NFS device.
