nfs::client::mounts generates a dependency cycle

[dploeger]

When using nfs::client::mounts (i.e. from hiera), a dependency cycle is generated:

(Mount[shared 192.168.1.10:test by xenial.openvpn on /srv/test] => Nfs::Client::Mount[test] => Class[Nfs::Client] => Mount[shared 192.168.1.10:test by xenial.openvpn on /srv/test])

Workaround: Create a profile, that creates the nfs::client::mount-types independently of the class:

# Generate nfs::client::mount types, because nfs::client::mounts generates
# a dependency cycle

class profile::nfs_client_mounts () {

  $nfs_mounts = hiera_hash('nfs_client_mounts', undef)

  if $nfs_mounts {
    create_resources(nfs::client::mount, $nfs_mounts)
  }

}

and include that into the classes list.

I solved this for me in commenting out a line in mount.pp:
...
require => [
79 Nfs::Mkdir[$_mount],
80 # Class['::nfs::client'],
81 ],
82 }
..

Hey @echocat,

any reason this has not been incorporated into a release? Or @rudgab's solution? Can we help?

Cheers & Thanks
