Since there are some discussions about this ticket on other communication channels, I want to clarify and sum up the situation here: An installation on a DASD disk that is virtio-attached, like: virt-install --name focal --memory 2048 --disk path=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1234 --cdrom

It seems from a quick look that parted just embeds a (ancient) copy of fdasd to do the identification, so I don't think there's any real benefit to using parted over fdasd directly. It would really be more in keeping with how we expect things to work to have a udev rule that would run fdasd on

Request to always force ms-dos partition table in KVM was requested before. However, surely it is virtualization/layering violation, when a physical host device which is not virtio-scsi compatible is passed through to qemu which emulates it as scsi, despite the underlying device on the host not

'parted' with either '-l' or 'print' for example points to that fact that a dasd is used (here a pristine DASD w/o partitions after using 'virt-install --name groovy --memory 2048 --disk path=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1601 --cdrom ./groovy-live-server-s390x.iso'): " $ parted /dev/vda print

I just retried (just to be sure) with having done an explicit fdasd and dasdfmt upfront (even if my DASD was already prepared before, but it may have had some LVM leftovers), but don't see a different - same situation. ** Attachment added: "04092020.tgz"

I think if you use an already formatted dasd in the KVM this should work. If you use a completely blank one, I don't know that there's a way for the guest to tell that it's backed by a dasd vs some other block device? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

I could recreate and can confirm the same for groovy. If the installation was started with: sudo virt-install --name groovy --memory 2048 --disk path=/dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1601 --cdrom ./groovy-live-server-s390x.iso the installer uses /dev/vda that is usually an indicator for virtio device
