Description of problem: We are trying to use virt-inspector to get Windows OS information for a Windows guest that utilizes a Dynamic boot disk. These commands work fine for Basic disks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.46 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run virt-inspector against a Windows 2019 dynamic disk image 2. Use the inspect-os command to get OS information Actual results: Nothing is returned. Expected results: The Windows guest OS type should be returned just as is seen with a Basic disk type. Additional info: [root]# cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) [rootl-images]# uname -r 5.16.13-200.fc35.x86_64 With w2k19 basic disks: [root]# guestfish --ro -a win2k19.img <fs> run <fs> inspect-os /dev/sda2 <fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/sda2 windows <fs> <fs> inspect-get-osinfo /dev/sda2 win2k19 <fs> inspect-get-product-name /dev/sda2 Windows Server 2019 Standard Evaluation <fs> Now we change the disk from Basic to Dynamic [root]# guestfish --ro -a win2k19.img <fs> run <fs> inspect-os <fs> Here we see nothing is getting returned. We expected /dev/sda2 (Like for Basic Disk Type).

Thank you for reopening this bug. Is there an estimated fix date for this?
This isn't a priority for me. There was a message posted on the mailing list last month which might relate to this bug: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2022-March/028493.html
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '36'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
