It seems very ill-advised for a machine to encode the hard drive name in a path anyway, since it would stop the machine from being cloned or copied to another type of hard drive, or in the virt case from being moved to another hypervisor. I still think this is a bug in OpenSUSE, but I will just note that the same error happens in libguestfs 1.9.18. I've pushed a fix for this upstream. Some or all of the following commits are required since I also refactored the surrounding code and added a useful new API. Required: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/152b179a19e43fcb0baec65ea65d394ee1dba891 Optional code refactoring: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/47b8225b05a7e35411f954f61f3eb3115c5a9f45 Required: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/7eaa99994ebd354f4b078d4068695984989a907f Optional code refactoring: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/ea8421c5d297698856a87c2cfe4a6b42796175a8 Not needed, just an intervening commit in the series: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/339f3647f889424af2a2256c4fcad0b44982c275 Optional (test of /dev/disk/by-id paths): https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/5489304c8d2836713ec58051c24514eba22b8c94 Available in libguestfs >= 1.19.15. |
