I was able to resolve this by redoing all of my tasks as follows:
tasks:
- name: Install jmespath via pip if missing
pip:
name: jmespath
- name: run the setup module for some facts about the hardware
setup:
filter: ansible_devices
tags:
- new
- name: check what drives are available
parted:
device: /dev/{{ item }}
with_items: "{{ ansible_devices }}"
when:
- item != 'sr0'
register: result
- name: get a list of paritions that are only ntfs
debug:
msg: "{{ item.0.disk.dev }}{{ (item.0.disk.table == 'loop') |
ternary('', item.1.num) }}"
when: item.1.fstype == 'ntfs'
with_subelements:
- "{{ result.results }}"
- partitions
- name: mount ntfs partitions
mount:
path: "/mnt/{{ item.0.disk.dev }}{{ (item.0.disk.table == 'loop') |
ternary('', item.1.num) }}"
src: "{{ item.0.disk.dev }}{{ (item.0.disk.table == 'loop') |
ternary('', item.1.num) }}"
fstype: ntfs
state: mounted
when: item.1.fstype == 'ntfs'
# when: results.item.value.partitions.fstype == "ntfs"
with_subelements:
- "{{ result.results }}"
- partitions
