Since there is now an RFC on puppet-users I wanted to say that I actually found some time to work on splitting the types. If you're interested you can see the changes here: https://github.com/stschulte/puppet/commits/refactor%2Fnext%2Fmount_split If splitting is the way to go and there is an official ticket number I'll rename my brach. I'm not done yet and I only did a few short tests on my linux box. It would really help if someone could provide me with detailed sample mount outputs from HP-UX, Solaris and Darwin and AIX. E.g looking at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/7e71840e29cb09c772668a51ada3cab1e319e50f/test/data/providers/mount/parsed/solaris.mount I cannot see that I can extract fstype from it? Has Solaris somesort of /etc/mtab? Is this one better than parsing mount? And what is the device on Darwin when mount shows something like this: map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse) Is fstype is always the first option on darwin? -Stefan
