Dear Maintainer, in Linux running as a KVM guest, virtio disks show up in the following format in the /dev/disk/by-path directory: virtio-pci-<systemid> (on x86, s390 and armv7l) This format implies that the device is a virtio-pci device, however this is only true for x86. On s390 it's virtio-ccw and on arm it's typically virtio-mmio. The upstream commit at [1] fixes this by generating a uniform path id in the format <subsystem>-<systemid> This will typically be something like pci-0000:00:00:7.0 (for x86) ccw-0.0.1234 (for s390) platform-a003e00.virtio_mmio (for arm) On x86 additional symlinks are created for backward compatibility, i.e. virtio-pci-0000:00:00:7.0 This patch is only needed for systemd 229 or higher.
