Failed to start Raft: permission denied

[joshuaspence]

33a72c3 seemed to break things for me. After updating the puppet module to 1.0.5, the consul service refuses to start. In the error logs, I see this:

==> Error starting agent: Failed to start Consul server: Failed to start Raft: open /mnt/consul/raft/raft.db: permission denied

Running sudo chown -R consul:consul /mnt/consul seems to fix the issue.

We have the data_dir setting:
https://github.com/solarkennedy/puppet-consul/blob/85de0cde707f2c011754677c097c53e61e66e664/manifests/install.pp#L8

Is that set?

Yes, it is set to /mnt/consul

Ah I see. But we don't recurse.

Yea this is going to be a one time chown you are going to have to do. New users will create the folder and start consul as the non-privileged user, so everything down below will be correct.
