Hi, I am unable to get NFS configured correctly on EC2 instances launched via the 'ec2' module in Ansible. When I launch instances using the exact same AMI from the AWS EC2 console, NFS works without a hitch.
First I'll describe my setup, and then how to reproduce the problem. I'm running Ansible from a Mac OSX Yosemite version 10.10.3. $ ansible --version ansible 1.9.2 I was also able to reproduce the problem from a machine running Debian 8.1 with Ansible version 1.9. This is the ansible playbook I'm using to launch 2 ec2 instances. $ cat test-nfs.yml - hosts: localhost tasks: - ec2: key_name: my_key aws_region: us-east-1 zone: us-east-1c image: ami-d05e75b8 vpc_subnet_id: subnet-cba9efbc instance_type: t2.micro exact_count: 2 count_tag: Name: nfs-test instance_tags: Name: nfs-test assign_public_ip: yes wait: yes Launch two instances. <command machine>$ ansible-playbook -i ./ec2.py test-nfs.yml Then, SSH into the first instance and set up NFS. <command machine>$ ssh ubuntu@<nfs-server ip> <nfs-server>$ sudo mkdir -m 777 /test <nfs-server>$ sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server <nfs-server>$ sudo cat "/test *(rw,async,no_subtree_check)" >> /etc/exports <nfs-server>$ sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart Attempt to mount NFS on the second instance. <nfs-client>$ sudo mkdir -m 777 /test <nfs-client>$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common <nfs-client>$ sudo mount <nfs-server ip>:/test /test The last step (mounting /test) hangs and times out if the instances were launched using the ansible ec2 module, but completes almost instantly when the instance are launched from the AWS EC2 console or using the AWS CLI. $ aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-d05e75b8 --count 1 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name test --security-group-ids sg-8fd0f7eb --subnet-id subnet-cba9efbc Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide additional information about the setup if requested. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
