Deprecation: Filesystem2 attribute removal (OHAI-12)

[edit on GitHub]

In Ohai/Chef Client 13 we replaced the existing Filesystem plugin with the Filesystem V2 plugin. That was done by having Ohai populate both node['filesystem'] and node['filesystem_v2'] with the data previously found at node['filesystem2']. In Chef Client 14 we will no longer populate node['filesystem2'].

Remediation

If you have a cookbook that relies on data from node['filesystem2'] you will need to update the code to instead use node['filesystem']. Keep in mind that if you’re attempting to support releases earlier than Chef Client 13 the data structure of node[‘filesystem’] will be different. Foodcritic’s FC094 rule will detect any usage of the node['filesystem_v2'] attributes.
