Hello,
filesystem attribute not present on certain AIX nodes. Versions : AIX 7.2 with chef-13.2.20-1.powerpc.bff
It seems to be when a nfs filesystem is mounted.
So I tried to debug.
ohai filesystem -l debug returns:

The problem seems to be that the last line returned by mount is not compliant with /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/ohai-13.2.0/lib/ohai/plugins/aix/filesystem.rb line 64 :

oldie[key][:mount_options] = fields[7].split(",")
How should I manage this issue ?
