I have several NFS mounts to manage, on many systems.  On each system, I 
must ensure that the root directory and path exist and have the correct 
permissions beforehand, then ensure they are mounted in Puppet.

For each, I would normally do:

        file { "/home/directory1":
>
>                ensure => directory,
>
>                owner   => "user",
>
>                group  => "group",
>
>                mode   => "755",
>
>        }
>
>
>>        mount { "/home/directory1":
>
>                device   => "our-thumper.domain.com:/export/directory1",
>
>                atboot   => yes,
>
>                fstype   => "nfs",
>
>                options  => "tcp,hard,intr,rw,bg",
>
>                name     => "/home/directory1",
>
>                ensure   => mounted,
>
>                remounts => true,
>
>                pass     => "0",
>
>                require => File["/home/directory1"], 
>
>        }
>
>  

which isn't very efficient when you have a ton of them to mange.

It doesn't appear that Puppet can iterate through an array, but could I do 
something like:

file { "/home/directory1", "/home/directory2", "/home/directory3":

but requiring this File will be a problem in the "mount" pass.

Perhaps a template?

How are others solving this sort of problem?   For me, it would be a lot 
easier (and more readable) if we could maintain an array at the top of the 
rules that contained either the full patch or the basename, then iterate 
through them.
