I'm suggesting that the RH294, Chapter 2, Sections 2, 4, 6, and 7 lab scripts be updated.
In each section, a different directory and inventory, and possibly configuration, file is made in /home/student on the workstation system:
Sec. 2: /home/student/deploy-inventory/inventory
Sec. 4: /home/student/deploy-manage/ansible.cfg and /home/student/deploy-manage/inventory
Sec. 6: /home/student/deploy-adhoc/ansible.cfg and /home/student/deploy-adhoc/inventory
Sec. 7: /home/student/deploy-review/ansible.cfg and /home/student/deploy-review/inventory
In each case, the lab script does not remove the directories or files when the lab is completed.
-------
For example, Section 2 (the others are similar):
During the course of the lab, the /home/student/deploy-inventory/inventory directory and file are created:
However, the finishing script does not remove it, it only resets /etc/ansible/hosts
Examining the lab script code for each section (Sec. 2: lab-deploy-inventory, Sec. 4: lab-deploy-manage, Sec. 6: lab-deploy-adhoc, and Sec. 7: lab-deploy-review) confirms this.
-------
I'm suggesting that a rm -r /home/student/deploy-* be used in the lab script's lab_finish function (if the directory exists).
Leaving these directories behind and unused is just messy.
