[chef] Overriding chef built-in providers

[Guy Matz < >]

Hi! I would like to override the mount provider so that it does try to mount in my dev environment . .   I was hoping to add a mount cookbook with a provider that would simply check the chef environment and make super calls if the environment is not dev.

Is this stupid?  Anyone have a better way?  If this doesn't sound terrible, then can someone say if what I want to do is possible?  I couldn't find anything on the nets about overriding providers .  .

Thanks a lot,

Guy
