The M(win_partition) module can create, modify or delete a partition on a disk
- name: Create a partition with drive letter D and size 5 GiB win_partition: drive_letter: D partition_size: 5 GiB disk_number: 1
- name: Resize previously created partition to it's maximum size and change it's drive letter to E win_partition: drive_letter: E partition_size: -1 partition_number: 1 disk_number: 1
- name: Delete partition win_partition: disk_number: 1 partition_number: 1 state: absent
state: choices: - absent - present default: present description: - Used to specify the state of the partition. Use C(absent) to specify if a partition should be removed and C(present) to specify if the partition should be created or updated. type: str active: description: - Specifies if the partition is active and can be used to start the system. This property is only valid when the disk's partition style is MBR. type: bool hidden: description: - Hides the target partition, making it undetectable by the mount manager. type: bool offline: description: - Sets the partition offline. - Adding a mount point (such as a drive letter) will cause the partition to go online again. required: false type: bool gpt_type: choices: - system_partition - microsoft_reserved - basic_data - microsoft_recovery description: - Specify the partition's GPT type if the disk's partition style is GPT. - This only applies to new partitions. - This does not relate to the partitions file system formatting. type: str mbr_type: choices: - fat12 - fat16 - extended - huge - ifs - fat32 description: - Specify the partition's MBR type if the disk's partition style is MBR. - This only applies to new partitions. - This does not relate to the partitions file system formatting. type: str read_only: description: - Make the partition read only, restricting changes from being made to the partition. type: bool disk_number: description: - Disk number is mandatory for creating new partitions. - A combination of I(disk_number) and I(partition_number) can be used to specify the partition instead of I(drive_letter) if required. type: int drive_letter: description: - Used for accessing partitions if I(disk_number) and I(partition_number) are not provided. - Use C(auto) for automatically assigning a drive letter, or a letter A-Z for manually assigning a drive letter to a new partition. If not specified, no drive letter is assigned when creating a new partition. type: str partition_size: description: - Specify size of the partition in B, KB, KiB, MB, MiB, GB, GiB, TB or TiB. Use -1 to specify maximum supported size. - Partition size is mandatory for creating a new partition but not for updating or deleting a partition. - The decimal SI prefixes kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc., are powers of 10^3 = 1000. The binary prefixes kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, etc. respectively refer to the corresponding power of 2^10 = 1024. Thus, a gigabyte (GB) is 1000000000 (1000^3) bytes while 1 gibibyte (GiB) is 1073741824 (1024^3) bytes. type: str partition_number: description: - Used in conjunction with I(disk_number) to uniquely identify a partition. type: int
