mounttab: additional provider for the mounttab type for Puppet

This module provides an additional provider for the mounttab type using the Augeas configuration library.

The advantage of using Augeas over the default Puppet parsedfile implementations is that Augeas will go to great lengths to preserve file formatting and comments, while also failing safely when needed.

This provider will hide all of the Augeas commands etc., you don't need to know anything about Augeas to make use of it.

Requirements

Ensure both Augeas and ruby-augeas 0.3.0+ bindings are installed and working as normal.

See Puppet/Augeas pre-requisites.

Installing

On Puppet 2.7.14+, the module can be installed easily (documentation):

puppet module install herculesteam/augeasproviders_mounttab

You may see an error similar to this on Puppet 2.x (#13858):

Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type `mounttab` at ...

Ensure the module is present in your puppetmaster's own environment (it doesn't have to use it) and that the master has pluginsync enabled. Run the agent on the puppetmaster to cause the custom types to be synced to its local libdir (puppet master --configprint libdir) and then restart the puppetmaster so it loads them.

Compatibility

Puppet versions

Minimum of Puppet 2.7.

Augeas versions

Documentation and examples

Type documentation can be generated with puppet doc -r type or viewed on the Puppet Forge page.

mounttab provider

This is a provider for a type distributed in the puppetlabs-mount_providers module.

The provider needs to be explicitly given as augeas to use augeasproviders.

If editing a vfstab entry, slightly different options need to be passed compared to a fstab entry.

manage simple fstab entry

mounttab { "/mnt":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/myvg/mytest",
  fstype   => "ext4",
  options  => "defaults",
  provider => augeas,
}

manage full fstab entry

mounttab { "/mnt":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/myvg/mytest",
  fstype   => "ext4",
  options  => ["nosuid", "uid=12345"],
  dump     => "1",
  pass     => "2",
  provider => augeas,
}

manage fstab entry with default options

mounttab { "/mnt":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/myvg/mytest",
  fstype   => "ext4",
  provider => augeas,
}

delete fstab entry

mounttab { "/":
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => augeas,
}

manage entry in another fstab location

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/myvg/mytest",
  target   => "/etc/anotherfstab",
  provider => augeas
}

manage device in fstab entry only

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/myvg/mytest",
  provider => augeas
}

Note: dump and pass are both changing unless explicitly specified, see issue #16122.

manage fstype in fstab entry only

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  fstype   => "btrfs",
  provider => augeas,
}

manage options in fstab entry only

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  options  => "nosuid",
  provider => augeas,
}

manage complex options in fstab entry only

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  options  => [
    "nosuid",
    "uid=12345",
    'rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0"',
  ],
  provider => augeas,
}

remove options from fstab entry

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  options  => [],
  provider => augeas,
}

manage simple vfstab entry

mounttab { "/mnt":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/dsk/c1t1d1s1",
  fstype   => "ufs",
  atboot   => "yes",
  provider => augeas,
}

manage full vfstab entry

mounttab { "/mnt":
  ensure      => present,
  device      => "/dev/dsk/c1t1d1s1",
  blockdevice => "/dev/foo/c1t1d1s1",
  fstype      => "ufs",
  pass        => "2",
  atboot      => "yes",
  options     => [ "nosuid", "nodev" ],
  provider    => augeas,
}

manage vfstab entry with default options

mounttab { "/mnt":
  ensure   => present,
  device   => "/dev/myvg/mytest",
  fstype   => "ext4",
  provider => augeas,
}

delete vfstab entry

mounttab { "/":
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => augeas,
}

remove options from vfstab entry

mounttab { "/home":
  ensure   => present,
  options  => [],
  provider => augeas,
}
