Whether it's possible is irrelevant, because that's not *correct* in any case. That use of the defined() function tests whether File['/volumes/vol1'] is in the catalog -- and even then it tests only at a particular instant during catalog compilation, ignoring any later addition of such a resource to the catalog. AND it will return true if File['/volumes/vol1'] has ensure => absent. None of that has anything to do with whether said file/directory is actually present on the target system at the start of the run, or at any random point in the middle of a run. Do not use defined().
