puppet lvm module

[Alex Samad]

Hi

is it possible to access the filesystem type in the puppet/lvm module.

in my module I tried doing this

 lvm::filesystem { '/dev/vg_data/varlogyb':

    ensure => true,

    fs_type => 'ext4',

    options => '-L  varlogyb',

  }

but that errored out

So it seems like i can access it as just filesystem 

Why is that, i presume it comes from the puppet/lvm module ???

Custom types are implemented via the same mechanisms that the types included in the base package are implemented, and that mechanism has always provided a single, flat namespace for all types.  There are technical challenges to changing the current implementation in that regard, though I'm sure those could be overcome if there were sufficient motivation.  In any case, all types implemented as native types belong to the top scope, whether they are included in the base Puppet distribution or not.  You'll see this with other modules, too, such as the stdlib's file_line.

Hi

Sorry new to puppet, not sure which mechinism your talking about.

from the file listing

find modules/lvm/ | grep -i filesy
modules/lvm/lib/puppet/type/filesystem.rb
modules/lvm/lib/puppet/provider/filesystem
modules/lvm/lib/puppet/provider/filesystem/lvm.rb
modules/lvm/lib/puppet/provider/filesystem/aix.rb
modules/lvm/spec/unit/puppet/type/filesystem_spec.rb
modules/lvm/spec/unit/puppet/provider/filesystem
modules/lvm/spec/unit/puppet/provider/filesystem/lvm_spec.rb
modules/lvm/spec/unit/type/filesystem_spec.rb

I presume the ./lib directory is what is injecting it into the system

what do i look up in the documents to learn more about this ?

My point was not about the details of implementing custom types, it was simply that all native types -- both custom and Puppet-provided -- share a single, anonymous namespace.

Depending on what parts you're interested in, you would probably want to start with either

• the custom type documentation, or
• the plugins in modules documentation.
