Below is my playbook that helps transfer a set of files from remote source to local directory.
- name: “Play 1.5”
hosts: “{{ groups[‘dest_nodes’] | default(groups[‘all’]) }}”
serial: 1
gather_facts: false
vars:
ansible_host_key_checking: false
ansible_ssh_extra_args: -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o ConnectionAttempts=5
tasks:
- find:
paths: “{{ homedir.stdout_lines[0] | trim }}”
recurse: no
file_type: any
hidden: yes
patterns:
-
“(.*txt)$”
-
“(.sh.)$”
-
“(.bash.)$”
-
“(.ksh.)$”
-
“(.profile.)$”
use_regex: yes
register: to_copy
- debug:
msg: “FOUNDDD {{ item.path}}”
with_items: “{{ to_copy.files }}”
- name: Copying from “{{ inventory_hostname }}” to this ansible server.
synchronize:
src: “{{ item.path }}”
dest: “{{ playbook_dir }}/homedirbackup/{{ inventory_hostname }}/{{ dtime }}/”
mode: pull
copy_links: yes
with_items:
- “{{ to_copy.files }}”
It copies a few files from remote to local directory “{{ playbook_dir }}/homedirbackup/{{ inventory_hostname }}/{{ dtime }}/” but then freezes midway and times-out i.e does not complete the transfer of all the files.
The below output shows that it transferred two files /opt/oracle/checkservice.sh & /opt/oracle/stopservice.sh but froze / never returned while trying to transfer .profile.bak.configurevwsapi.2018.11.08-21.07.49

<---- HANGS HERE and never returns ---->
Below are the listing of both the files of the remote host from where i m pulling them locally on my ansible host.
oracle@remotehost35:~$ ls -ltraq /opt/oracle/checkservice.sh
-rwxr–r-- 1 oracle oinstall 651 Oct 27 2020 /opt/oracle/checkservice.sh
oracle@remotehost35:~$ ls -ltraq /opt/oracle/stopservice.sh
-rwxr–r-- 1 oracle oinstall 266 Oct 27 2020 /opt/oracle/stopservice.sh
Below is the file that did not get transferred and i guess (however, i m not sure) thats the file ansible was trying next to transfer.
oracle@remotehost35:~$ ls -ltrqa .profile.bak.configurevwsapi.2018.11.08-21.07.49
-rw-r–r-- 1 oracle oinstall 2215 Nov 8 2018 .profile.bak.configurevwsapi.2018.11.08-21.07.49
Here is the stat of the file that did not get transferred and ansible froze

}
The above output is with debug level 4 -vvvv on ansible.
Can you please suggest why the transfer freezes after a few iterations of the loop?
