I’d say as long as mount_core is enough for your needs go with it

I use puppetlabs-mount_core and haven't had any issues or need for extra/different functionality.

See the

puppetlabs-mount_core

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/mount_core?src=slack&channel=puppet

You need mount_providers for puppet/augeasproviders_mounttab

See the

puppet-augeasproviders_mounttab

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/augeasproviders_mounttab?src=slack&channel=puppet

I am curious about the issue with mount_providers, though. It’s current and supported according to the forge:

This version is compatible with:
Puppet Enterprise 2019.8.x, 2019.7.x, 2019.5.x, 2019.4.x, 2019.3.x, 2019.2.x, 2019.1.x, 2019.0.x, 2018.1.x, 2017.3.x
Puppet >= 5.0.0 < 7.0.0
RedHat, 
CentOS, 
OracleLinux, 
Scientific, 
SLES, 
Debian, 
Ubuntu, 
Solaris

Puppet >= 5.0.0 < 7.0.0

Didn't puppet 6 just got EOL?

yeah, but still… in the grand scheme of Forge modules, unless there’s a specific incompatibility, you should be able to continue to use what you need. And if you’re going to upgrade from 3->7, expect to have some modules to update. Also, as a curiosity… are you pre-3.8? and if so, are you using PuppetDB?

I've tested this module using P7 and it seems to work, I assume it was not updated as 7.0.0 came out in 2020 and the module's last update was 2019.

Running 3.8.7 at present …. and yes there are a lot of modules that needs updates to work on p7 !

there was a time when you were upgrading from 3.3 to more modern you had to go to 3.8 first and then upgrade from there. You should be good, though.

Its not really an upgrade as such - more a replace the client software and point it at an entirely new p7 infrastructure …. still lots of code to update (and changes to the way hiera works to accommodate)
