[chef] Passing values from one Chef resource to another

[Cary Penniman < >]

Ohai, Chefs!

I have a ruby_block that calculates a value which I then want to use in another, say 'mount', resource.  Is there a documented way or best practice on how to do this?

I could not find anything documented anywhere, so I wrote something up:

Thoughts? Suggestions? Criticisms?

Cheers!
