Hi , Terraform create linux vm using custom image which has an attached the managed data disk and that data disk is already portioned. In papally terraform added the second and third data disk into vm . Now i tried to run ansible playbook to partitioned the second and third data disk (lun values = 2 and 3) using parted module - name: fact for lun1 and lun2 set\_fact: lun: “[‘2’,‘3’]” - name: lun disks information community.general.parted: device: /dev/disk/azure/scsi1/lun{{ item }} unit: MiB loop: ‘{{ lun }}’ register: lun\_info - name: Use parted to make new disk and label community.general.parted: device: /dev/disk/azure/scsi1/lun{{ item.item }} label: “gpt” number: ‘{{ item.item }}’ state: present part\_end: “100%” resize: true loop: ‘{{ lun\_info.results }}’ So then error msg will be as below . So can someone help on this ? “changed”: false, [912](http://10.241.0.4/ifs-cloud/ifs-cloud-core/icloud_environment/-/jobs/2132370#L912) “err”: “Error: You requested a partition from 0.00kiB to
