EX294: Modules for Storage devices

As far as I know, the only possible module for EX294 regarding Storage Devices now is "parted" which functions just like the command line tool with the same name.

0 Module 'parted'

• maintained by the Ansible Community
• not guaranteed to have a backward compatible interface
• depends on "/sys"
• "ansible-doc parted" for online help
• needs escalated privilege
