Issues with ansible file system mount.

Hi,

We are having an issue with one of our components where in the file system says not available even though the device is available (via Ansible).

The instance is spinned up and via ansible we set the facts like

  • set_fact:
    device: /dev/nvme2n1
    when: nvmedev.stat.exists == True
    Then attach / mount the volumes as (e.g. vol-a) using

  • name: Attach the existing cold summaries volume if it is found
    ec2_vol:
    id: “{{ ec2_vol_data_cold_summaries.volumes[0].id }}”
    instance: “{{ ansible_ec2_instance_identity_document_instanceid }}”
    device_name: “/dev/xvdf”
    region: “{{ ansible_ec2_instance_identity_document_region }}”
    when: ec2_vol_data_cold_summaries.volumes|length > 0

mount:
path: /var/cold_summaries
src: “{{ device }}”
fstype: ext4
state: mounted
opts: noatime
We get the error as below:

TASK [indexer : Mount the volume] *******************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Error mounting /var/cold_summaries: mount: special device /dev/nvme2n1 does not exist\n”}

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1 259:1 0 4G 0 disk
└─nvme0n1p1 259:2 0 4G 0 part /
nvme1n1 259:0 0 50G 0 disk /opt/
nvme2n1 259:3 0 16T 0 disk

and when I manually mount using mount devicename filesystemname (as below) it works fine.

mount /dev/nvme2n1 /var/cold_summaries

Ansible version details are as below:

ansible 2.8.5
config file = None
configured module search path = [u’/root/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
executable location = /bin/ansible

Could you please let us know if there are any recent changes that is causing this issue. Please note that this used to work fine before.

Thank you.

Karthick
