This is not so much a Puppet issue as a Unix one: while a filesystem is mounted on (say) /home/directory1, all references to that path are resolved to the root of the mounted filesystem, whereas when nothing is mounted there the path refers to the mount point directory. Therefore, unless you do something to ensure your FS unmounted before the File is applied, the File will sometimes manage the local directory, but other times manage the remote one. That may be tolerable, but it will not work if you want different properties for the mount point than for the root of the filesystem mounted on it. John
