Hi Team:

I’m trying to get a list variable with mount points from Ansible facts. But, I’m getting the whole “ansible\_mounts” facts in JSON format. I have difficult time to retrieve only mount points in list format.

Like below.

mount\_points = [‘/’, ‘/boot’, ‘home’, ‘/usr’, ‘/var’, ‘/tmp’]

Please help.

Thanks,  
Shibhi

{{ ansible\_mounts | map(attribute='mount') | list }}
