Puppet users - Feb 2007 - Mount options

Hello,

I am currently attempting to manage the /etc/fstab file using the Mount command
but do not want the command to do anything to certain mounts that I specify.

I have tried different ''ensure'' options, but puppet seems to
always want to try an mount or unmount the devices.

Basically, I would like to have certain options in the fstab on the cdrom and
floppy devices but leave them in whatever state they are currently in just in
case a user already has them mounted.

Would it be possible to have something like ensure =>
''ignore'' to tell puppet to update the fstab but don''t
try to do anything with the mount?

Thank you,

-- Rob --

In retrospect, this is a bug.  I''ve removed the default value for  
''ensure''.
