Hi everyone, I have a host where Ansible used to run correctly. A while ago, all runs of Ansible on this host started to hang on Gathering Facts. I've searched on the internet for a solution, and found some tips on how to debug this. So I ran Ansible with ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1 and used python3 AnsiballZ_setup.py explode to look into this further. Running the module with strace did not yield any useful results, so I used the gather_subset option with !all,!min and enabled the collectors one by one. Using this method for all collectors in the min set, I found three collectors which did not terminate: env, service_mgr, ssh_pub_keys
I don't know how to proceed from here. My search on the internet suggests stale network mounts as the main reason for such behavior, but we don't have any on the affected host. I tried rebooting as well as upgrading all packages but the problem persists. Is there a way to debug this further? Simply turning the gathering of facts off is not an option, as we rely heavily on host dependent facts in some of our roles. Thanks in advance!
