** Description changed: == Begin SRU Template == [Description] Installing to a system with a NVM Express card/block device will fail, showing something to the effect of: - Could not stat /dev/nvme0n11 --- No such file or directory + Could not stat /dev/nvme0n11 --- No such file or directory This is due to curtin's fairly innocent understanding of device name paths. - The fix is both - - better parsing of /sys to get information on device names and partitions that are on them. - - specific handling of the very odd named '!ccis' devices. + The fix is both + - better parsing of /sys to get information on device names and partitions that are on them. + - specific handling of the very odd named '!ccis' devices. - [Impact] + [Impact] Installation via curtin can not be done on these systems. [Test Case] Positive test case: - Install via maas and curtin onto a system with a NVM Express card/block device. - Successful installation and boot is success anything else is failure. + Install via maas and curtin onto a system with a NVM Express card/block device. + Successful installation and boot is success anything else is failure. Negative test case: - Install on a sytem without these devices and expect it to boot. + Install on a sytem without these devices and expect it to boot. [Regression Potential] Curtin's understanding of /dev/ and /sys generally improved. However, there are possibly still corner cases. It seems unlikely that anything that worked before would fail with these changes.
