Hello there,

I have the following task:

- name: Mount /dev/testvg/testlv  
mount:  
path: /test  
src: /dev/testvg/testlv  
fstype: xfs  
opts: defaults  
state: present

I’m using the mount module. I’m trying to achieve inserting the following line into fstab:

/dev/testvg/testlv /test xfs defaults 1 2

However, when running the playbook, I get the following result:

/dev/testvg/testlv /test xfs defaults 0 0

How can I set 1 2 instead of 0 0 with the mount module?

Regards,

Josue.

Those are the `dump` and `passno` arguments for the module.

Hi,

For xfs file system, fsck is not necessary.

For the record on the man page of fsck.xfs “fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully”

On rare occasion you could need xfs\_repair !

JYL
