Availability

Installation

This resource is distributed with Chef InSpec and is automatically available for use.

Version

This resource first became available in v1.16.0 of InSpec.

Syntax

A zfs_dataset resource block declares the ZFS dataset properties that should be tested:

  it { should MATCHER 'value' }
end

where

  • ('dataset') is the name of the ZFS dataset (eg: 'tank/tmp')
  • MATCHER is a valid matcher for this resource
  • 'value' is the value to be tested

Examples

The following examples show how to use this Chef InSpec audit resource.

describe zfs_dataset('tank/tmp') do
  it { should be_mounted }
  its('atime') { should eq  'on' }

  its('exec') { should eq  'off' }
  its('readonly') { should eq  'off' }
  its('setuid') { should eq  'off' }
end
