Help on ansible tasks

[Shyam Yenna]

Please can someone help as i am having hard time to debug or troubleshoot below ansible module tasks.

I am trying to format an ebs volume attached to an ec2 instance.i am getting below error.

{
    "changed": false,
    "failed": true,
    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "dev": "/dev/xvdf",
            "force": false,
            "fstype": "ext4",
            "opts": "-t",
            "resizefs": false
        },
        "module_name": "filesystem"
    },
    "msg": "Device /dev/xvdf not found."
}

when i logged into ec2 instance and typed lsblk i can verify xvdf volume attached.

sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdf

above is successfully.


Similarly i am encountering unchanged modules
apt_key and apt_repository

- name: PostgreSQL | Add PostgreSQL repository apt-key
  apt_key:
    id:          "{{ postgresql_apt_key_id }}"
    url:        "{{ postgresql_apt_key_url }}"
    state:      present
  register: apt_result

- name: PostgreSQL | Add PostgreSQL repository
  apt_repository:
    repo:       "{{ postgresql_apt_repository }}"
    state:      present
    update_cache: true
    filename:   "postgres"
  when: apt_result|succeeded
  register: repoadd

Thanks in Advance

I am unsuccessful debugging above things. I appreciate if someone can shed some light into the issue and bring me into light.

I am currently using Ansible 2.2.0 Version installed on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I am repeatedly running playbook multiple times during entire infrastructure playbook development.which is causing below modules changed flag to false.

apt_key and apt_repository

- name: PostgreSQL | Add PostgreSQL repository apt-key
  apt_key:
    id:          "{{ postgresql_apt_key_id }}"
    url:        "{{ postgresql_apt_key_url }}"
    state:      present
  register: apt_result

- name: PostgreSQL | Add PostgreSQL repository
  apt_repository:
    repo:       "{{ postgresql_apt_repository }}"
    state:      present
    update_cache: true
    filename:   "postgres"
  when: apt_result|succeeded
  register: repoadd

I am successfully when i stand new instance and run first time but no luck after that one.I am suspecting something to do with ansible cache so i have flushed busted cache also.

ansible-playbook playbook.yml --flush-cache

Can someone help me out here as i am stuck in middle of ocean.
