Hi! I am using a playbook `from github created by Reiner Nippes to setup a nextcloud server. I changed quite some things to be able to run it on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
Before running the playbook, /etc/fstab looks like the following: UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 / btrfs defaults 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /.snapshots btrfs subvol=/@/.snapshots 0 0 UUID=9d812efe-44e4-4594-affe-37299672ad9e swap swap defaults 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /var btrfs subvol=/@/var 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /usr/local btrfs subvol=/@/usr/local 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /srv btrfs subvol=/@/srv 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /root btrfs subvol=/@/root 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /opt btrfs subvol=/@/opt 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /home btrfs subvol=/@/home 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi btrfs subvol=/@/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /boot/grub2/i386-pc btrfs subvol=/@/boot/grub2/i386-pc 0 0 UUID=7388-F693 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0 In the playbook there is a task to mount /tmp as tmpfs: - name: mount tmp fs mount: src: "tmpfs" path: "{{ item }}" fstype: tmpfs opts: "defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777" passno: "0" state: mounted with_items: - /tmp - /var/tmp The first time I run the playbook, I get this error: failed: [nextcloud] (item=/tmp) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "/tmp", "msg": "Error mounting /tmp: umount: /tmp: target is busy. and the file /etc/fstab has a new entry afterwards: UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 / btrfs defaults 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /.snapshots btrfs subvol=/@/.snapshots 0 0 UUID=9d812efe-44e4-4594-affe-37299672ad9e swap swap defaults 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /var btrfs subvol=/@/var 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /usr/local btrfs subvol=/@/usr/local 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /srv btrfs subvol=/@/srv 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /root btrfs subvol=/@/root 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /opt btrfs subvol=/@/opt 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /home btrfs subvol=/@/home 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi btrfs subvol=/@/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi 0 0 UUID=a34c85bd-79d2-4145-8772-04be970fe413 /boot/grub2/i386-pc btrfs subvol=/@/boot/grub2/i386-pc 0 0 UUID=7388-F693 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777 0 0 When I run the playbook a second time, I don't get the error anymore and all is fine. I executed "watch -n 1 ls -l /tmp/" to perodically check if ansible is writing anything to /tmp, and yes, it is! There are some temporary files which appear and disapear during the execution. I already added the following two lines to my ansible.cfg file: local_tmp = /tmp2 remote_tmp = /tmp2 Unfortunately, there are still these "payload" files appearing in /tmp. 1. Where do they come from? What do they contain and how can I change the directory for these files? I guess these payload files are the reason why the mount module fails in the first place. 2. Am I doing something wrong? 3. Is a workaround possible? 4. Has it something to do with the BTRFS filesystem? On Ubuntu this mount task is working... 5. Why is it trying to umount at all? I want it to mount /tmp I have also made a desktop capture of this behavior: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ta2-x4wUgoz1Ig3jabooHwVJV4l-SyQ1 Thanks a lot for your help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
