Description

Add a mount provider windows_smb to enable mapping windows shares to drive letters using Puppet

Usage

Mapping a drive

mount { "D:":
  ensure   => mounted,
  provider => windows_smb,
  device   => "//VAGRANT-2012-R2/shared",
  options  => '{"user":"VAGRANT-2012-R2/test","password":"Password123!"}',
}

Notes

  • You must specify the drive letter as the resource name, in capitals, with a colon
  • To avoid a sea of backslashes, use a forward slash in any share names and user names. The provider will convert them for you
  • options semi-officially has to be a string acording to the type documentation... but no one said I couldn't load the string with JSON ;-)
  • Omit password if there isn't one
  • Other options such as dump, pass etc are ignored
  • We claim the default mount provider on windows
  • Havent tested what happens if the UNC path is changed

Un-mapping a drive

mount { "D:":
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => windows_smb,
}

Reference

Reference documentation is generated directly from source code using puppet-strings. You may regenerate the documentation by running:
