Hello, I didn’t find any glusterfs modules for Ansible, so I wrote my own: [https://github.com/rosmo/ansible-glusterfs](https://github.com/rosmo/ansible-glusterfs) -Taneli ---

This looks pretty good, but this is problematic (in def run\_gluster\_yes(gargs)): cmdline = 'echo y | ’ + ’ '.join(args) rc, out, err = module.run\_command(cmdline, use\_unsafe\_shell=True) You’re allowing unsafe shell commands in with user-input, which is a security violation. The module overall looks really good, but if you want to contribute this to core (which we’d be open to), you’ll need to rework the above. Simply using module.run\_command(cmdline, data=‘y\n’) should do the same thing. ---

there are no submissions I’m aware of. Please feel free to work on one, though it seems like it may be more apt to be a role than a module – Ansible Galaxy may be appropriate. ---

Hi Michael, I am fairly new to ansible, so just to understand your point better, why does it seem more appropriate to be a role than a module ? Is it because it support multiple operations like create, set tunables, etc each of which is a separate playbook ? Right now it seems like its just one .yaml hence 1 playbook. I am looking at using ansible as a glue layer between openstack Manila on one side(frontend) and gluster trusted storage pool on the other side (backend) Googling, i found this and it seems it might have the stuff i need, just that its not complete, hence I am interested in this and more interested to know what to develop, module, playbook, role… a bit confused even after reading ansible docs 🙂 thanx, deepak ---

If you have a colon in your statement, you need to double-quote it. See [http://docs.ansible.com/YAMLSyntax.html#gotchas](http://docs.ansible.com/YAMLSyntax.html#gotchas) ~irl ---
