Hi I would like to create report for free partition size under “ansible\_mounts” “ansible\_mounts”: [ { “block\_available”: 3911145, “block\_size”: 4096, “block\_total”: 4452864, “block\_used”: 541719, “device”: “/dev/mapper/vg\_root-lv\_root”, “fstype”: “xfs”, “inode\_available”: 8871855, “inode\_total”: 8910848, “inode\_used”: 38993, **“mount”: “/”,** “options”: “rw,seclabel,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota”, **“size\_available”: 16020049920,** “size\_total”: 18238930944, “uuid”: “e2968252-bcd8-45ac-9604-714aa932deb9” }, { “block\_available”: 222270, “block\_size”: 4096, “block\_total”: 259584, “block\_used”: 37314, “device”: “/dev/sda1”, “fstype”: “xfs”, “inode\_available”: 523988, “inode\_total”: 524288, “inode\_used”: 300, **“mount”: “/boot”,** “options”: “rw,seclabel,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota”, **“size\_available”: 910417920,** “size\_total”: 1063256064, “uuid”: “bcce38b2-0c6c-44aa-99be-20e3553d23ee” how can I get variables for /, /var /boot and other partitions and create report like this in a file: root: 10GB free /boot: 800MB free /var: 2GB free Thanks ---

- copy:     content: |       {% for mt in ansible\_mounts %}       {{ mt.mount }}: {{ ( mt.size\_available / ( 1024 | pow(3))) | round(2) }} GB free       {% endfor %}     dest:       /tmp/freespace.txt This creates a report in /tmp/freespace.txt with the GB values with two decimal spaces. Distinguishing between GB and MB would be a bit more complicated. Regards         Racke ---

Thanks, this works great, can you explain me more what this jinja2 template do especially: / ( 1024 | pow(3))) | round(2) } / ( 1024 | pow(3)) → is this divide1024 three times? what is pow ? round(2) → two decimal ? where can I get more jinja2 examples or tutorial? Thanks ---

So we divide the available size by 1 GB and round it up. The parentheses are important to process in the correct orders. I maintain a couple of filter examples at [https://wiki.linuxia.de/library/stefan-hornburg-racke-ansible-provisioning-en#text-amuse-label-filters](https://wiki.linuxia.de/library/stefan-hornburg-racke-ansible-provisioning-en#text-amuse-label-filters) Regards         Racke ---

what will be jinja template if I would like to create report only for / and /var partition? Or haw would I accomplish that? Thanks Regards ---

First with a if condition: {% for mt in ansible\_mounts %} {% if mt.mount in ['/', '/var'] %} {{ mt.mount }}: {{ ( mt.size\_available / ( 1024 | pow(3))) | round(2) }} GB free {% endif %} {% endfor %} Second with a filter on ansible mounts: {% for mt in (ansible\_mounts | selectattr('mount', 'search', '^/(var)\*$') | list) %} {{ mt.mount }}: {{ ( mt.size\_available / ( 1024 | pow(3))) | round(2) }} GB free {% endfor %} If the partitions to report vary between host / groups use the first solution and replace ['/', '/var'] with a variable, e.g. report\_parts:   - /   - /var Regards           Racke ---

The > error was: 'str object' has no attribute 'vgs') . ansible\_lvm is a dictionary and not a list. So looping as above doesn't work. Please try the following loop:      {% for vg in ansible\_lvm.vgs | dict2items %}      {{ vg.key }} {{ vg.value.free\_g }} GB      {% endfor %} Regards          Racke ---
