<p>For those used to <em>/usr/bin/chmod</em> remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, <code class="ansible-value docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'644'</span></code> or <code class="ansible-value docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'1777'</span></code>) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading zero (for example, <code class="ansible-value docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0755</span></code>) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances.</p>
<p>Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.</p>
<p>As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, <code class="ansible-value docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">u+rwx</span></code> or <code class="ansible-value docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">u=rw,g=r,o=r</span></code>).</p>

<p>By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem objects, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted filesystem objects, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner.</p>
<p>This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating filesystem objects when atomic operations fail (however, it doesnt force Ansible to perform unsafe writes).</p>
<p>IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.</p>
