Observed this error when I use the latest ansible, but cannot reproduce it with ansible 2.9.6, pls help check it.

[dwlehman]

There was a big recent change in upstream ansible which moved most of the previously-standard modules out to a separate repository.

mount should be in the posix collection.

[yizhanglinux]

Thanks, do we have plan to fix it on storage role?

[pcahyna]

We will handle those issues consistently in all system roles. But, AFAIK, there will be an Ansible distribution that will behave exactly as now, so nothing will need to be fixed. I don't know whether it is already available.
For now, can you please try importing the posix collection in your playbook before calling the storage role?

Sure, but currently I'm not familiar with it, could you tell me how to import it? we can take the bellow case as an example, thanks.

When I use posix collection in my playbook, found one issue for the mount module, I've filed bellow issue to track it.

ansible-collections/ansible.posix#21

[pcahyna]

Thank you for investigating this issue and reporting it, and sorry for not providing advice on transitioning to collections, I have not really started this transition myself.

[yizhanglinux]

The ansible.posix issue was fixed now.

[japokorn]

I am closing this issue because it is already resolved.
