Lineinfile creates duplicates entries when running playbook multiple times

[janaki raman]

Hi All,

 lineinfile duplicates the entry... I am trying to append a line based on the regex... but if i run the playbook again, it keeps adding the lines...

- name: "Updating /etc/default/grub with security parameters"

     lineinfile:

       path: /etc/default/grub_new

       backrefs: yes

       state: present

       regexp: '(^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=.*)$'

       line: '\1\nnuma_balancing=disable'

I tried the same with replace module, still got the same result.. Not sure what am i missing here

Try taking our the \n. I have just had a similar problem with blockinfile. Last I checked, there is an open bug for the issue.
