Judging by the Git history of kolla, `find_disks` was a module that was part of the kolla repository itself (local module). I’m not sure what happened to it but it seems that kolla is now using some sort of custom docker images (kolla\_toolbox) and custom Ansible installation inside a docker image.

This seems to be very specific to kolla. You would be better asking this question in some kolla community circles.

Kolla is a very complex piece of software and does a lot of things in it’s own way. Common Ansible knowledge does not help much… or apply at all 🙃

Hello

Thanks for the feedback. I have crossed that bridge by tearing down that Kolla version and using another version that works well.
