Puppet: Create directory on nfs share with root_squash set

  • 772

I have an NFS share on a server, that belongs to user barack. barack can write in this share, and root can't, because of the root squash feature

I tried creating a directory for barack on the share with puppet 2.7.21, using the file type, but it looks like puppet creates files/directories as root, and then changes the ownership. Obviously, the first step will (and does) fail.

I ended up using exec w/ mkdir.

Is my theory about puppet creating files as root first right? Is there a way to force puppet to create a directory as barack, using the file type?

    Disregard my below answer, I initially misunderstood.. This is apparently a bug. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14681

    Yeah, use the owner parameter to the fie type file { $your_dir_here: ensure => "directory", owner => "barack" }
