Description David Lehman 2021-06-02 15:54:25 UTC

Description of problem:
Blivet should be capable of adjusting LVM's devices file while configuring storage.

Expected results:
Blivet adjusts the LVM devices file, if desired, instead of passing filter regex on the command line. It would probably be useful to provide calls to explicitly manipulate the list of allowed devices and to write the file on demand.

Additional Information:
If the devices file is the default/preferred method of device filtering we should be writing the file out as part of OS installation.

To use a limited set of devices for just one command (i.e. on the command line), and not made a persistent change to the set of devices that are visible to the OS, then you can use the new command line option "--devices /dev/foo".  The command will only look at devices named by this option.  (The option can be repeated to make more than one device visible to the command.)

python3-blivet-3.4.0-11.el9 is included in RHEL-9.0.0-20220117.0.
There was one issue found during testing of this feature and it has been reported as bug 2040302 (against anaconda).
Possible regressions found later in the test cycle will be reported as new bugs.

Moving this bug to VERIFIED.
