Hi,
I think I got the mount working. This is kind of counter-intuitive (or maybe it's intuitive), but here's the mount resource that seems to work for me:
mount '/mnt/shareit' do
action :mount
options 'username=administrator,password=XXXXXX'
fstype 'cifs'
device '//192.168.0.110/C/rpms'
end
My "rationale" was that when I had the username= and the password= earlier, the mount was showing up with "-o defaults", i.e., it was basically ignoring the username= and password=. At the same time, it WAS output "-o", so I figured I try putting the username= and the password= in the "options" mount parameter, and BINGO :)!!
I have do a bit more testing but it looks like now that I have the mount apparently working, I can get a modified version of the chef-splunk install_server recipe that uses the RPMs from a file share.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
FIrst of all, thanks for the help/suggestions.
Secondly, believe it or not, I HAVE been reading, all of
the stuff you've posted, and then more, plus doing hours of
testing, but not all of this is clear. Possibly my own
inadequacies.
Having said that, I've gone back to basics, with just a
recipe that just does a mount, because I was suspecting that
the mount by itself was failing:
mount '/mnt/shareit' do
action :mount
username 'administrator'
password 'xxxxxxxx'
fstype 'cifs'
device '//192.168.0.110/C/rpms'
end
When I run that recipe, I am getting an error:

It seems like even though I an including username= and
password=, the actual mount command that it ends up doing:
"mount -t cifs -o defaults //192.168.0.110/C/rpms
/mnt/shareit"
i.e., it is using "-o defaults" rather than passing the
username/password to the mount command?
I suspect that that is why the mount is failing, but I've
tried all kinds of permutations in the recipe, and always
end up with the same thing.
Thanks again,
Jim

First of all, forget about back
slashes, use forward slashes (unless in Windows script
context like bat cmd and powershell)
Secondly, you should really make an effort reading, I
gave you clues and links.
Last try: have a mount resource (I'm pretty sure everyone
permission is only on share and not on the NTFS
permissions,
you should learn about this too) and give
file://mount_target/package.rpm to your splunk_installer
ressource attribute.

Hi,
I don't understand what you're suggesting?
Remember, that I'm talking about if it's possible to
do
this with an already-existing cookbook/recipe, the
chef-splunk cookbook.
Also, BTW, I was looking at that cookbook, and it
looks
like that has a "definitions/splunk_installer.rb" that
has:
define :splunk_installer, :url => nil do
cache_dir = Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
package_file = splunk_file(params[:url])
cached_package = ::File.join(cache_dir,
package_file)
remote_file cached_package do
source params[:url]
action :create_if_missing
end
.
.
.
etc
.
.
so it seems like that code is already using a
remote_file type resource.
And, according to this:
remote_file Resource
The 'source' is defined as:
"Required. The location of the source file. The
location of the source file may be HTTP (http://), FTP
(ftp://), local (file:///), or UNC
(\\host\share\file.tar.gz)."
i.e., the Chef docs explicitly say that a UNC should
be
all right?
So it seems like it SHOULD take an UNC in the "url"
parameter, but then why do I get an error saying it's not
a
URL when I use a UNC (and yes, I have tried with both the
double-back-slashes as well as the
quadruple-back-slashes)?
Thanks,
Jim

That's what I meant
by the session, if an UNC path does not work, use
local
filesystem in the cookbook instead of targeting the
UNC
path.
Pseudo code:
Mount '/mnt/target' do
Source '//server/share'
End
Remote_file
'/usr/local/src/package.rpm'
Source '/mnt/target/package.rpm'
End
Package
'/usr/local/src/package.rpm'
Mount '/mnt/target' do
Action :unmount
End
Writen on phone and by memory,
no guarantee a copy paste will work but I hope it
gives
the
idea.

Hi,
The share was
configured with permissions for "Everyone", so I
can see the share without any credentials.
So, for example, when
I did the mount to /mnt/shareit, I could do "ls
/mnt/shareit" and see the RPM files there.
For the test where I
used the mount, I:
- Did "mount"
- executed "chef-client -o
'recipe[chef-splunk::install_server]'
And I got the error.

Usually if the
share need
credentials the path is to
mount the share, remote_file with
local path to the mounted share as source and then
unmount.
Is this what you
tried ? On Linux, unlike Windows the share access
rights are
not stored in the user session

in the chef-splunk attributes, and
also tried creating a

/mnt/shareit (and confirming I can see the RPMs at
the mount) and get the same error.
Is there
something else I need to do with
the
file:// URL?

I
don't know for the
slunk cookbook
itself (didn't use it)
but
assuming it
takes advantage of remote_file resource
I'm sure yes as
my sole
contribution to chef was on the
file:// url
code and
I did test for this kind of path for
Unix
and
Windows 
T.l.;d.r Should be
yes but may
work with a UNC path
file://server/share/file.rpm too
if the
share is browsable
as anonymous
(everyone

share and

Splunk forwarder RPMs?
If possible, we
would
like to setup a

/mnt/splunk_rpms,
pointing to a
Windows share, and then use
something
like
"file:///mnt/splunk_rpms/the_splunkserver.rpm" in
the

Will something
like that work?
