Hi,
I''m still quite new to puppet so forgive me if I ask stupid questions
or use
wrong terminology.
I have default values for mount defined inside a class. Are these defaults only
valid for mounts of this class or for all?
class test {
Mount {
fstype => "nfs4",
}
mount{"test1":
device => "server1:/test",
}
}
Since I also have many nfsmounts and want to make sure that the mountpoint
exist, I''d like to use require. Is there a way I can reference the name
of the
mountpoint in the require? Like so.
mount {"test2":
device => "server1:/test2",
require => File[$name]
}
regards, Andreas

Be aware this will propagate to classes you include in test so class a would be affected as well in the example below: class test { include a Mount {...} }> Since I also have many nfsmounts and want to make sure that the mountpoint > exist, I''d like to use require.

The mount is depending on the existence of the mountpoint otherwise the mount command fails. I can write mount { "/test2": device => "server1:/test2", require => File["/test2"], } but to make this test default for all nfs mounts I want something like Mount { ... require => File[$mountpoint] } where $mountpoint is automatically set to the correct mountpoint of the current mount. regards, Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
