[chef] Re: Passing values from one Chef resource to another

Cary,

Somebody else had the same problem and someone pointed out about the lazy attribute feature that is coming up in Chef 11.6 (which was formerly delayed_evaluator as a POC).

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!
