Enhancement: Move the vendored and ansible.posix mount calls in main-blivet.yml into a shared include_mount.yml that is pulled in with include_tasks, passing module arguments as a single dict variable.
Reason: An ansible.posix FQCN in a statically parsed task file aborts play parsing on ansible 2.9 even when the task is skipped, which previously forced bare module names with an fqcn lint suppression.
Result: The collection module is now referenced by FQCN and only parsed at runtime, keeping ansible 2.9 support while dropping the bare-name workaround.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved mount management across systems using Python 2 and Python 3.
    • Prevented compatibility issues on older managed nodes where the modern mount module is unavailable.
  • Refactor
    • Streamlined mount removal and setup into a shared workflow while preserving existing behavior.

…in-blivet.yml into an include_mount.yml helper called with include_tasks. Reason: On ansible 2.9 an unresolvable ansible.posix FQCN in a statically parsed task file aborts play parsing even when the task is skipped by "when"; a dynamic include defers parsing to runtime so the skipped FQCN is never resolved. Result: The role uses the proper ansible.posix.mount FQCN while still running on ansible 2.9 with older-python managed nodes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mount management tasks now include a shared helper. The helper selects mount_python_27 for Python 2 nodes and ansible.posix.mount for Python 3 nodes at runtime.

Changes

Mount module selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared mount helper
tasks/include_mount.yml
The helper receives __storage_mount_args and selects the mount module based on the Python version.
Mount task integration
tasks/main-blivet.yml
Obsolete mount removal and current mount setup include the shared helper instead of defining separate Python-version tasks.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b3e94

The mount refactor may expose credentials in task output and could regress mount setup or removal on either Python branch. Add secure logging controls and branch-specific tests before merge.

Explanation

The PR description contains the required Enhancement:, Reason:, and Result: sections. It does not contain the required Signed-off-by: section with a name and email address. The HEAD commit also has no Signed-off-by trailer; it only has a Co-Authored-By trailer. The changed revision is the PR commit, so the missing sign-off is attributable to this PR.

Resolution

Add Signed-off-by: &lt;Full Name&gt; &lt;email@example.com&gt; with the contributor’s real name and email to the PR description. Amend the commit with git commit --amend -s and push the updated commit if commit sign-off is required by the repository process.

Add coverage for both mount-module branches.

Update tests/tests_*.yml to run absent and non-absent mount cases on Python 2 and Python 3. Existing mount tests do not explicitly exercise the new mount_python_27 and ansible.posix.mount selection paths.

I think omit only works in the context of the actual module call - it passes a special per-module value to the module that the module knows to ignore - it does not tell Ansible/yaml/jinja to actually omit the key/value pair from the list of arguments. I think the behavior is undefined, and possibly depends on which version of Ansible you are using, when there is no src in mount_info.

One way to do this cleanly is kind of ugly:

  vars:
    # put the required arguments in the dict first, then conditionally add the
    # optional arguments
    __storage_mount_args: "{{ {'path': mount_info['path'], 'state': mount_info['state']} | combine(__maybe_src) | combine(__maybe_fstype) | combine(__maybe_opts) }}"
    __maybe_src: "{{ {'src': mount_info['src']} if mount_info.get('src', '') | length > 0 else {} }}"
    __maybe_fstype: "{{ {'fstype': mount_info['fstype']} if mount_info.get('fstype', '') | length > 0 else {} }}"
    __maybe_opts: "{{ {'opts': mount_info['opts']} if mount_info.get('opts', '') | length > 0 else {} }}"

actually, in this case, using omit might just work - because you are using omit in the vars definition and because vars use lazy evaluation, the omit will not be evaluated until the module context
