            In Puppet 4.8.0, we added new functionality to the mount provider intended to detect if a mounted filesystem did not match /etc/fstab. Unfortunately, there is not a reliable mechanism for doing this and the detection did not work as intended. It has been removed.

            Description

            After upgrading to Puppet 4.8.0, I keep seeing Puppet reports along the following lines:

            2016-11-02 09:32:16 +0100 /Stage[main]/Mount[/]/options (notice): options changed 'defaults,acl,user_xattr' to 'defaults,acl,user_xattr'
            		 
            2016-11-02 09:32:16 +0100 /Stage[main]/Mount[/] (notice): Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events
            		 
            2016-11-02 09:32:17 +0100 /Stage[main]/Mount[/var/redacted]/options (notice): options changed 'rw,bind,acl' to 'rw,bind,acl'
            		 
            2016-11-02 09:32:17 +0100 /Stage[main]/Mount[/var/redacted] (notice): Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events

            Even though the actual mount options are identical to the desired state, Puppet keeps thinking they are out-of-sync and re-mounting the mount point. This worked fine with Puppet 4.7.x.
