Overview

This module makes it easy to manage ZFS filesystems and their mountpoints.

See blog post for details: Zfsdir: Simple ZFS management with Puppet

Usage

zfsdir { 'rpool/test':
    ensure => 'present',
    zfs    => {
        recordsize  => '16K',
        mountpoint  => "/test",
        compression => "on",
    },
    file   => {
        owner => 'mzach',
        group => 'bin'
    },
}

For use with hiera, one could define a nested hash in the following form (e.g. in YAML):

---
zfsdirs:
  rpool/testfs:
    zfs:
      recordsize: 8K
      mountpoint: /testfs
      compression: "on"
    file:
      owner: nobody
      group: bin
  rpool/test2
    zfs:
      mountpoint: /test2
    file:
      mode: 0777

The resources are constructed with the create_resources function from hiera:

$zfsdirs = hiera_hash('zfsdirs',{})
create_resources(zfsdir, $zfsdirs)

Reference

• zfs resource type
• file resource type

Limitations

Tested on:

• Solaris 11

TODO

• More tests
• Deal with file-user dependency
• Make module ready for Puppet Forge
