-# == Class: tripleo::glance::nfs_mount
-#
-# NFS mount for Glance image storage file backend
-#
-# === Parameters
-#
-# [*share*]
-#   NFS share to mount, in 'IP:PATH' format.
-#
-# [*options*]
-#   (Optional) NFS mount options. Defaults to
-#   'intr,context=system_u:object_r:glance_var_lib_t:s0'
-#
-# [*edit_fstab*]
-#   (Optional) Whether to persist the mount info to fstab.
-#   Defaults to true.
-#
-# [*fstab_fstype*]
-#   (Optional) File system type to use in fstab for the mount.
-#   Defaults to 'nfs4'.
-#
-# [*fstab_prepend_options*]
-#   (Optional) Extra mount options for fstab (prepended to $options).
-#   Defaults to 'bg', so that a potentially failed mount doesn't
-#   prevent the machine from booting.
