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 block devices and record in udev somehow if they are dasds and maybe that's something we should work towards in 21.04 but maybe we should also think of a way to make this work in focal (starting by making changes to probert, I guess). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893775 Title: [UBUNTU 20.04.1] Failure to install Ubuntu 20.04.1 as KVM guest on DASD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/1893775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
