Re-running same config sorted this error... Though we're back here:

roles:

- No overrides in ansible.cfg

- ansible_user=root set inside /etc/ansible/hosts

I can't see the command actually trying to do any sudo command for the `dd` - but it's clearly in the playbook it should be running the command as `vdsm` - is there an obvious next-step?

I tried isolating it and, at least with ansible 2.7.8, everything works exactly as expected: become at task level wins over playbook or role one.

Honestly I've no idea on why if fails on your have.

Do you have any customization to that role?
