Description

I needed to know what disks and partitions a particular system has to automate monitoring deployment with Puppet, etc …

Example of the output:

root@yemen:~# facter -p | egrep -i 'disks|partitions'
disks => c0d0,c0d1
partitions_c0d0 => c0d0p1,c0d0p2,c0d0p5
partitions_c0d1 => c0d1p1

The code can be reviewed here: partitions.rb; or available in the repository: facter-facts.

I need to write tests for it :–)

Hello Krzysztof,

it would be great, if your facter could also recognise “lvm” partitions. Maybe you could remove the exclude for “dm” and get the label from “/dev/mapper”? Unfortunately i have no ruby skills, otherwise i would have sent you a patch. ;)

Kindly Regards, Dennis

Hey Dennis,

Sure, no problem :–) I will look into this.

Perhaps, we could have separate fact form Device Mapper anyway, there might be some additional information that may be of interest.
