Allow control over file resource atomic_update property #77

Open hrak opened 8 years ago

hrak commented 8 years ago

When using this cookbook inside a Docker container, it throws the following error:

file[/etc/hosts] (dynamically defined) had an error: Errno::EBUSY: Device or resource busy @ sys_fail2 - (/etc/.chef-hosts20160517-3251-tp1f8b, /etc/hosts)

This issue is discussed here, where @lamont-granquist suggests setting atomic_update false on the resource.

It would be nice if the LWRP would support a property to allow you to control atomic_update.
