RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.)
