I wrote some roles for my home lab to setup a GlusterFS cluster.

But when I run it on my 2 nodes, some tasks get executed over and over again and it seems that it never ends.

Here is the log output (I cut it off at some point and also removed a lot of the * characters)

I commited the fix to the Github repo. The problem was that a role was included recursively.

I split up the roles a bit to fix it. Also discovered a lot of other issues with repeated task executions (not all of the fixed yet because I'm still learning how to structure my ansible tasks)
