Description Richard W.M. Jones 2017-01-19 08:56:25 UTC
Description of problem:

><fs> list-md-devices 
/dev/md0
/dev/md127
><fs> canonical-device-name /dev/md0
/dev/sd0
><fs> canonical-device-name /dev/md127
/dev/sd127

libguestfs shouldn't rewrite /dev/mdX to /dev/sdX in
this instance.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs 1.35.14

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-01-19 08:57:03 UTC
A consequence of this bug can be seen in the output
of the virt-filesystems command shown here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1414510#c0

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2017-01-19 08:57:56 UTC
Another consequence is that programs like virt-v2v try to
pass the string /dev/sd0 back to the API which fails:

><fs> vfs-type /dev/sd0
libguestfs: error: vfs_type: vfs_type_stub: /dev/sd0: No such file or directory

The new output from virt-filesystems looks like:
