With ZFS on HDDs, the VM remained in "locked" state for about 16 seconds after the clone api call.

Error:

[ERROR]: Task failed: Module failed: 500 Server Error: VM is locked (clone) for url: https://pve-rzclub-hdd.holzmarkt-it.de:443/api2/json/nodes/pve-rzclub-hdd/qemu/100/config
Origin: /home/julian/ansible/roles/pve-vm/tasks/main.yml:1:3

1 - name: Create and start VM
    ^ column 3

fatal: [pbs-rzclub.holzmarkt-it.de -> 127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false
}

MSG:

Workaround: Restart the Ansible run after clone has finished
