Hi

You are declaring ansible\_mounts as a list of strings. It literally is:  
ansible\_mounts: ['xyz', 'abc']. Ansible is complaining, that the string  
'xyz' does not have a 'mount' property. You are obviously missing a step,  
where you actually check the available space 🙂

Hi Piotr,

Thank you for your quick response. I am trying to check if the available disk space is greater than 30% and declared mounts as variables but still it is failing. COuld you please help.

Hi

vars\_files:

- /etc/ansible/xyz/pre-deploy/vars/main.yml  
you are overwriting the ansible\_mounts fact - you loose the information on mounts. Remove the above as well.

Last one  
when: item.mount == mountname
