You are missing an important subtlety: when you use an array as a resource
title, you are declaring not just one resource but several separate
resources -- one for each array element, with the corresponding element as
its title. Each resource gets the same values for the assigned parameters,
and default values for all others. Thus, this declaration
file { [ '/tmp/one', '/tmp/two']:
ensure => 'file',
mode => 0644
}
is exactly equivalent to these two
file { '/tmp/one':
ensure => 'file',
mode => 0644
}
file { '/tmp/two':
ensure => 'file',
mode => 0644
}
. The array-style declaration is strictly shorthand. The default 'path'
parameter for File['/tmp/one'] is '/tmp/one', and the default 'path'
parameter for File['/tmp/two'] is '/tmp/two', regardless of which form you
use to declare them.
