Manage storage easily with Linux System Roles
summary
A declarative Ansible role provides a consistent automation API to configure storage across distributions, creating LVM volume groups, logical volumes and filesystems from a single Playbook. Example runs add a new disk (vdb), grow /home from 25 GB to 100 GB, add an NVMe as a 5 GB LVM cache, and manage fstab entries; tested on a VM and idempotent so reruns do nothing. Supported tech includes LVM, thin provisioning, VDO deduplication/compression, MD RAID and LUKS; destructive changes require turning off safe_mode (safe_mode=false).
