[chef] RE: Re: Help - Creating a "First Run Only" Resource

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

Hi Adam,

No, I really need the First Run Only so that if a disk fails and is
replaced, it doesn't automatically fdisk it.  I need the First Run Only
Resource.   Also, there is quite a bit more code to go in the snippet as
well.

You want to figure out what command you can run to verify the partition
table is set correctly, and add it as a not_if to the resource.
