Creating EXT4 disk via storage_volumes hangs when mke2fs requests input
Using this role to configure "storage_volumes" on RHEL 7.6 to create EXT4 FS.
The blivet_output of the role before creating the FS.
"volumes": [ { "_device": "/dev/sdh", "_mount_id": "UUID=f982878c-14b0-487d-91ce-ff75984cce45", "disks": [ "sdh" ], "fs_create_options": "", "fs_label": "hdfs_data4", "fs_overwrite_existing": true, "fs_type": "ext4", "mount_check": 0, "mount_device_identifier": "uuid", "mount_options": "defaults,noatime,discard,barrier=0", "mount_passno": 0, "mount_point": "/data4", "name": "hdfs_data4", "size": "1024g", "state": "present", "type": "disk" }
The role hangs wile creating the EXT4 FS directly on disk.
On htop I can see the following command:
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdh
When executing this command directly on the node it requests user input to proceed.
I fixed this by aborting the current running "system-linux-roles.storage" and executed ansible ad-hoc commands to create them by:
ansible <hostgroup> --private-key <path-to-private-key> -m shell -b -a "echo y | mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdh"
Expected Behaviour: The role shouldn't halt when creating EXT4 filesystems directly on disk and should auto approve mke2fs request.
Thanks for the report. This sounds very much like #122 that I fixed in #154. What version of the role are you using and where did you get it from?
I installed the role via galaxy command just this week.
This got the me the version:
ansible-galaxy role install linux-system-roles.storage --force
