Hi,
You can use ghoneycutt/types, which has a class for mount[1]. It ensures
the directory exists for the mount by using `mkdir -p`.
You can use it directly from Hiera as per the docs or through a manifest
like this.
types::mount { '/srv/nfs/home':
ensure => 'present',
device => 'nfsserver:/export/home',
fstype => 'nfs',
options => 'rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192',
}
