How to sync two directories on same host sing ansibleusing Ansible?

I am using the below playbook for mounting partitions on another EBS volumes while provisioning instance on AWS

I have tried using copy synchronization & rsync modules. I know using cpcp is not recommended option but iI can not see any other option related to syncing the data between to directories with preserving permissions.

But when iI do it manually it works perfectperfectly.

I have followed a couple of blogs already. such as

Can anyone help in solving this. this? This is very urgent.

I have tried multiple ways to copy the data back to newly mounted EBS volumes at task name Copying /home data on new EBS.

I have tried using copy synchronization & rsync modules. I know using cp is not recommended option but i can not see any other option related to syncing the data between to directories with preserving permissions.

But when i do it manually it works perfect.

I am mounting these partitions on another EBS is just coz of CIS hardening steps includes it.
