Hi,

I tried to compare Ansible 2.0.0.2 to 1.9.4 on this VM

client01:/data/ansible # cat /etc/os-release  
NAME=openSUSE  
VERSION=“13.2 (Harlequin)”  
VERSION\_ID=“13.2”  
PRETTY\_NAME=“openSUSE 13.2 (Harlequin) (i586)”  
ID=opensuse  
ANSI\_COLOR=“0;32”  
CPE\_NAME=“cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:13.2”  
BUG\_REPORT\_URL=“[https://bugs.opensuse.org](https://bugs.opensuse.org)”  
HOME\_URL=“[https://opensuse.org/](https://opensuse.org/)”  
ID\_LIKE=“suse”  
client01:/data/ansible #

using git checkouts as described in

[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ansible-project/checkout|sort:date/ansible-project/nrQFcW8X1WU/QR7ksJEvBQAJ](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/ansible-project/checkout%7Csort:date/ansible-project/nrQFcW8X1WU/QR7ksJEvBQAJ)

I am not a git expert, so probably something went terrible wrong while dealing with git and I broke 2.0.0.2 as it seems  
to be slow and failed to run the modul setup:

a)  
Run \< ansible localhost -a “ls -al /etc/hosts” \>  
Result: 1.9.4 takes 1.09s, 2.0.0.2 takes 10.3s.

Ansible version: 1.9.4

The ansible command fails due to a timeout in “cmd”: “/usr/bin/lsblk -ln --output UUID /dev/sda2”

This command runs fine on the cli:

client01:/data/ansible # time /usr/bin/lsblk -ln --output UUID /dev/sda2
