Haven't found much on Google about creating multiple partitions. You will
have to workout the disk dimensions, but this worked for me:
---
- name: Create partition 1
parted:
device: /dev/xvdb
number: 1
state: present
part_end: 1GiB
- parted:
device: /dev/xvdb
number: 2
state: present
part_start: 1GiB
part_end: 31GiB
- parted:
device: /dev/xvdb
number: 3
state: present
part_start: 31GiB
part_end: 61GiB
- parted:
device: /dev/xvdb
number: 4
state: present
part_start: 61GiB
part_end: 101GiB
- parted:
device: /dev/xvdb
number: 5
state: present
part_start: 101GiB
part_end: 111GiB
- parted:
device: /dev/xvdb
number: 6
state: present
part_start: 111GiB
part_end: 100%
