Chiming in...
The old feature request at https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4815
<https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4815> had it right. This should be
a part of the core Mount resource type. Eric's rejection of it was stupid.
On most systems, when you mount a volume, the underlying file or directory
must first be there. After you mount, the permissions of the mounted
directory may need to be changed for whatever reason. In another thread, it
was argued that the underlying filesystem -- if it's NFS -- should have the
permissions set on the server; that's a silly argument, but more
importantly, the underlying filesystem might be a newly created one at the
time of deployment. So either before or after, a File resource is needed.
Actually, both, but because we can't define the same resource twice, we
have to choose one. And because the alternative currently seems to be an
Exec resource, the solution is system dependent. (Or, we have to go through
a lot of trouble).
The following is an ugly hack, and must be tweaked for each system. This
example works for linux:
mount { 'fs:/mountpoint':
name=> '/mountpoint',
device=> 'fs:/vol/devid',
ensure=> mounted,
require=> Exec[mount-ensure-mountpoint],
...
}
file { '/mountpoint':
# After mountpoint has been created
owner=> newownerid,
group=> newgroupid,
mode=> '0770'
require=> 'Mount[fs:/mountpoint]',
}
exec { 'mount-ensure-mountpoint'
command=> 'mkdir -p m 0755 /mountpoint',
creates=> '/mountpoint'
}
I suppose a refreshonly => true in the Exec resource might provide a tiny
optimization.
Creating a custom type or function to do the above is silly, given that
nearly every systemadmin needs.
I cannot currently figure out PUppetlabs' new issue tracking/search system,
otherwise I would try to add this to a ticket there.
