Description
Summary
Since it's currently not possible to set the size of the metadata volume when creating a thin pool volume , see #10050, I chose to use the module to extend its size after initial creation.
In Linux, this is easily done using lvextend -L{newsize} {vg_name}/{thinpool_metadatavolume_name}. I confirmed this command works as expected.
So, I suppose it should also work using the following task.
- name: Ensure metadata LV is at least 512 MiB
ansible.builtin.lvol:
vg: "{{ vg }}"
lv: "{{ thinpool }}_tmeta"
size: "512M"
register: metadata_resize_result
Unfortunately, this task hangs. No error is registered, so ignore_errors won't do anything, neither can a rescue block be run. As a result, we can never inspect the register.
A quick look into the journal of the host in question shows that the command was actually successful.
