Ansible synchronize module fails with error 'No such file or directory (2)'

[Sreekanthcp]

SUMMARY

Hi team,

The scenario where i am receiving the error is : I am trying to synchronize files from an application directory on server1 to other 5 application servers. I am using the synchronize module to do so. Once the playbook is executed few files are copied over to all 5 servers and few are not. A temporary directory .tmp is created in the destination location and initially the files are copied over to that location. once on the final stage when the files are moved or renamed the below error is received. The error is received for multiple files on all the 5 servers. kerberos protocol is used between all servers. rsync: rename failed for "/home/testuser/appdir/_test.txt" (from .tmp/_test.txt):

To avoid timeouts i have increased the values for all possibility. ansible.cfg has the below values.

[defaults] host_key_checking = False display_skipped_hosts = false remote_tmp = /tmp interpreter_python = /usr/bin/python2 callback_whitelist = profile_tasks timeout = 7200 forks = 100 [callback_profile_tasks] sort_order = none [ssh_connection] ssh_args=-C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=1200s -o BatchMode=yes retries = 3 pipelining = True module_lang = en_US.UTF-8 module_set_locale = True [persistent_connection] command_timeout = 7200 connect_timeout = 7200
