I've got a variety of mounts that I want to ensure specific flags are set
on each. For other reasons, the mounts don't have the same flags.
I mistakenly thought the 'mount' module would ensure each had the flag, but
instead it set the flags of the mount to ONLY the 'opts' parameter.
For instance, I have a test system with these two mounts:
/tmp/mount01 /tmp/mounts/mount01 xfs defaults,*noatime,nodev *0 0
/tmp/mount02 /tmp/mounts/mount02 xfs defaults,*relatime,noexec *0 0
Note the changes in the mount options.
I setup this play in a playbook:
- name: "Add nodev to /tmp/mounts/mount*"
mount:
path: '/tmp/mounts/{{ item }}'
src: '/tmp/{{ item }}'
fstype: xfs
opts: 'nodev'
state: present
passno: '0'
dump: '0'
backup: yes
with_items:
- mount01
- mount02
But ended up getting the mounts (in /etc/fstab) like this:
/tmp/mount01 /tmp/mounts/mount01 xfs *nodev* 0 0
/tmp/mount02 /tmp/mounts/mount02 xfs *nodev* 0 0
Since I'm 'gathering_facts', I thought I could use the 'ansible_mounts'
list, but the options are just a simple string:
{
...
"fstype": "xfs",
...
"mount": "/tmp/mounts/mount01",
"options": "rw,seclabel,nodev,noatime,attr2,inode64,noquota",
...
}
In a much more complex playbook, I have pulled out the individual 'options'
parameters and could append the new 'opts' parameters to each - but that
ends up doing a simple appending which ends up in the /etc/fstab file so
each run adds another value.
*My question: *Is there a simpler way that I'm overlooking to ensure that
'nodev' - or any single parameter is provided to 'opts' - is in each mount
without having to define the entier (and potentially unique) 'opts' string
for each mount?
If the 'options' within the 'gather_facts' was also a list, then adding the
'nodev' element wouldn't lead to the duplication issue... If the 'mount'
'opts' parameter took a list, then it would be possible to convert the CSV
string to a list, then append the single 'opt' to the list.
