Actually, the native mount type can also be used with an augeas-based provider if you use the herculesteam/augeasproviders_mounttab module.
This brings the simplicity of a native module with the power and safety of Augeas under the hood. As for the original code by OP, there are Augeas errors in there. It is possible to achieve this simple option change though, but the nodes in the tree must be ordered properly. augeas { 'fstabxfsnobarrier': context => '/files/etc/fstab', changes => [ 'rm /*[vfstype="xfs"]/opt', You're bypassing the context here by using an absolute path (starting with/). That won't do anything. 'ins opt after vfstype="xfs"', This syntax is erroneous. You probably mean to insert the opt node after the vfstype node of the matching entry, which would be: 'ins opt after *[vfstype="xfs"]/vfstype Raphaƫl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
