[chef] Re: RE: Re: knife node shows empty role

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

The roles attribute is only updated after a successful Chef Client run
as it reflects the current state of the node. Did you run Chef between
commands one and two?

Also, I believe you just need "knife node show xxxx -a roles" - don't
need the 'role[mongodb]' in there.
