I am using below playbook to write entries to /etc/fstab
. And to create swap
file:
---
- name: Configure SWAP
hosts: localhost
become: yes
become_user: root
tasks:
- name: Configuring a SWAP
command: "{{ item }}"
loop:
- mkswap -f "{{ ebs_swap }}"
- echo "UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value {{ ebs_swap }}) swap swap defaults 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
- swapon -a
register: output
- name: Display the variable
debug:
msg: "{{ output}}"
We are running it with command: ansible-playbook mount.yml -e "ebs_swap=/dev/xvdj"
O/P:
"item": "echo \"UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/xvdj) swap swap defaults 0 0\" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab",
"rc": 0,
"start": "2020-04-09 14:51:23.890047",
"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/xvdj) swap swap defaults 0 0 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab",
"stdout_lines": [
"UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/xvdj) swap swap defaults 0 0 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab"
Can any one tell me why am I unable to get the entry in /etc/fstab
& when I am trying to run above commands its getting success.
I have resolved it by using below:
- name: Dispaly uuid & store in variable
command: blkid -s UUID -o value {{ ebs_swap }}
register: uuid_swap
- name: Add the below lines
blockinfile:
path: /etc/fstab
state: present
block: |
UUID={{ uuid_swap.stdout }} swap swap defaults 0 0
