Hi Team,

i was able to successfully create a FileSystem using module which is not exist only  
(eg: if nothing there it will create 1 , )  
(eg: if 1 and 2 there it will create 3 , )  
(eg: if 1, 2, 3 there it will create 4 , )

#creating /ifs/cluster\_name/MA/DEV/FOUMAD0031301  
#creating /ifs/cluster\_name/MA/DEV/FOUMAD0031302  
#creating /ifs/cluster\_name/MA/DEV/FOUMAD0031303

But i am not able to find the path which was created even with register option , it is “VALUE\_SPECIFIED\_IN\_NO\_LOG\_PARAMETER”  
HOw i will get the path which created

- name: “Create Source Filesystem For DEV”  
dellemc.powerscale.filesystem:  
onefs\_host: “{{ ip\_address }}”  
port\_no: “8080”  
verify\_ssl: false  
api\_user: “{{ api\_user }}”  
api\_password: “{{ api\_password }}”  
path: “/ifs/{{ cluster\_name }}/{{ region }}/DEV/{{ division }}{{ region }}{{ env }}{{ ‘{:\>05}’.format(app\_id) }}{{ ‘%02d’ | format(item) }}”  
owner:  
name: ‘{{ api\_user }}’  
provider\_type: ‘ads’  
state: “present”  
register: quota\_output\_dev\_source  
when: not (quota\_output\_dev\_source.changed | d(false))  
loop: ‘{{ list\_of\_sequence }}’

That's because the dellemc.powerscale.filesystem module declares `path`  
as `no_log=True` in its argument specification:

[https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerscale/blob/1.9.0/plugins/modules/filesystem.py#L1565](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerscale/blob/1.9.0/plugins/modules/filesystem.py#L1565)

This tells ansible-core that the value of `path` is a secret that  
should not be logged or accidentally returned. If you want this to  
change, you need to ask the collection to change that (for example by  
creating an issue in [https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerscale/issues](https://github.com/dell/ansible-powerscale/issues)).

You can wrk around it by re-composing the path manually. Alternatively  
you could first create a datastructure (list of dicts) which also  
contains the path, and then loop over that to call the  
dellemc.powerscale.filesystem module. If you then register the result,  
you can get hold of the path with the `item` element of the return  
value.

Best regards,  
Felix Fontein
