Platform Details

Ubuntu 16.04

Scenario:

When you use lvm_logical_volume and filesystem is not set, it seems to send a nil string to the mount resource's using it's fstype parameter. This is a required field for the mount resource and can't be a blank string.

Steps to Reproduce:

Use lvm_logical_volume without setting 'filesystem'.

Expected Result:

I was expecting it to automatically pull the filesystem, which is what the mount resource will do if no value is set here. Erroring and letting us know this is a required field would be fine too.

Actual Result:

This is the entry it added when filesystem wasn't set -
/dev/mapper/location /opt/mount defaults 0 0

Because this field isn't set, the regex that checks to see if the fstab entry already exists fails as there are only 5 fields in the entry - https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/mount/mount.rb#L64

It will then add multiple duplicate entries, which will then cause the box to go into emergency mode when restarted.
