Error in parted task

[maykel535]

Hi, I love archlinux and ansible. I try install archlinux in VM but I get this error:

fatal: [maykel]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "err": "Error: Partition(s) 2 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use.  You should reboot now before making further changes.\n",

@maykel535, I have only used this code to install Arch Linux on bare metal systems that are booted from a CD or thumb drive. Could this be related to the fact that you are running in a VM, and the underlying disk is in use by the host system?

Hi! Thanks for your response. The VM is up with an archlinux iso and has a /dev/sda hard drive. I have added my host to inventory.yml and added my configuration in hosts_vars:

cat host_vars / maykel.yml

ansible_host: 192.168.0.42
boot_partition_suffix: 1
install_drive: / dev / sda
luks_keyfile: comnet21
root_partition_suffix: 2

And it seems to fail when you run partitioning with parted
