And I dont see a way out of it. Well it's a question of the definition of "match", now isn't it? Unix permits different file systems to be mounted on the same (logical) mount point, as the OP's example demonstrates. Unix -- some flavors, at least -- also permit the same device to be mounted on multiple mount points. But it is not meaningful or useful to define the same device mounted more than once on the same mount point, so there *is* a unique key for fstab entries and mounted file systems. On a more abstract level, if it's meaningful to the system to have two fstab entries with some particular properties in common, then Puppet's resource model both can and should support that. That's not to say that the current version of Puppet supports it -- I strongly suspect it doesn't. But some future version certainly could and should, hence my recommendation to file a ticket.
