I am creating a module to create and manage filesystems. I have everything working from physical volumes to mounting the filesystem. I am utilizing a puppetforge module called [LVM][1].
This module works great except for the fact that it does not manage the partition table at all. If you do a
pvcreate with this module (or as a standalone command) you can create a physical volume without partitioning a disk. This does work however if you do an fdisk -l you will see that there are no partitions on that disk (because none were created). I would like to somehow manage partitions so that it provides more clarity on what that disk is being used for.
**Is there a puppet module/command/function that I can use to help manage partitions?** I created an exec that will do it but it feels "dirty" and I feel like there are cleaner solutions.
thanks,
My disk partitioner for reference:
#Where ${disk} is sdb1, sdc1, etc.
disks.each |$disk| {
exec { "part_${disk}":
command => "/usr/sbin/parted -a optimal -- /dev/${disk} unit compact mkpart primary \"1\" \"-1\" ; /bin/sleep 1",
unless => "/sbin/fdisk -l | grep /dev/${disk}",
}
}
