[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#844414: puppet-agent: Remounts file systems for no reason at every run

[Frederik Himpe]

Package: puppet-agent
Version: 4.8.0-1
Severity: normal

Since I upgraded to Puppet 4.8, every puppet agent run, all mounts defined in my puppet configuration, are remounted, even though they are already mounted correctly with the right options. This is causing a dependency cascade, making different services depending on these mount definitions,restarting for no reason.

This is an upstream regression being tracked in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6861
