The mount resource type

Finally, Puppet will manage all aspects of mountable filesystems for you, including their basic attributes, such as the source device and mount point, the mount options, and the current state. A line from the fstab file translates quite literally to a Puppet manifest:

mount { '/media/gluster-data':
  ensure  => 'mounted',
  device  => 'gluster01:/data',
  fstype  => 'glusterfs',
  options => 'defaults,_netdev',
  dump    => 0,
  pass    => 0,
}

For this resource, Puppet will make sure that the filesystem is indeed mounted after the run. Ensuring the unmounted state is also possible, of course; Puppet can also just make sure the entry is present in the fstab file, or absent from the system altogether.
