[chef] Re: Re: Re: Using UNC path was Re: Re: Re: Re: A question about chef-splunk cookbook

[Tensibai Zhaoying < >]

That's what I meant by the session, if an UNC path does not work, use local 
filesystem in the cookbook instead of targeting the UNC path.

Pseudo code:
Mount '/mnt/target' do
  Source '//server/share'
End

Remote_file '/usr/local/src/package.rpm'
  Source '/mnt/target/package.rpm'
End

Package '/usr/local/src/package.rpm' 

Mount '/mnt/target' do
  Action :unmount 
End

Writen on phone and by memory, no guarantee a copy paste will work but I hope 
it gives the idea.
