Description Vojtech Trefny 2022-04-26 09:45:50 UTC
libblockdev uses `mdadm --examine` which doesn't contain UUID for RAID containers (like DDF or IMSM. We need to get it from `mdadm --examine --brief` instead.

upstream issue: https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/issues/722

Comment 1 guazhang@redhat.com 2022-04-26 09:56:32 UTC
Hi,

Did the libblockdev case cover it ?

No, this currently isn't covered by the libblockdev test suite. I'll try to add a test case for it, but we might need a special hardware to test this (creating a fake/emulated DDF array might be possible for the test). I'll let you know when I have a patch ready.

Comment 3 Vojtech Trefny 2022-08-04 11:15:04 UTC
upstream PR: https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/pull/563 and https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/pull/762

Tests are part of the second PR. For manual testing:

1. Create the DDF RAID with mdadm

# mdadm --create /dev/md/ddf --name=ddf --level container --raid-disks=2 --metadata=ddf /dev/vda /dev/vdb
# mdadm --create /dev/md/vol0 --name=vol0 --level raid1 --raid-disks=2 /dev/md/ddf

2. Check that libblockdev can get UUID of the container both with `bd_md_examine` and `bd_md_detail`:

In [2]: examine_data = BlockDev.md_examine("/dev/vda")
In [3]: examine_data.uuid
Out[3]: '50efb57b-85be-0a7e-47f6-6b7ff6b47e63'

In [4]: detail_data = BlockDev.md_detail("/dev/md/ddf")
In [5]: detail_data.uuid
Out[5]: '50efb57b-85be-0a7e-47f6-6b7ff6b47e63'

Comment 4 guazhang@redhat.com 2022-08-09 13:04:05 UTC
Hi

please have a look the error ?

        container_name="bd_test_md"
        mdname="bd_test_ddf"
        disks_list = self.get_free_disk(num=2)
        bd.md_create(container_name, 'container', disks_list,0, 'ddf', False)
        ret = self.run("mdadm --create /dev/md/%s --run --level=raid0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md/%s" % (mdname, container_name))

        rdata = bd.md_detail(mdname)
        if rdata.level != 'raid0' :
            print("FAIL: ddata  level is not raid0")
        print(dir(rdata))
        if rdata.container != '/dev/md/%s' % container_name:
            print("FAIL: could not get container name ")

AttributeError: 'MDDetailData' object has no attribute 'container'

Comment 5 Vojtech Trefny 2022-08-09 13:11:05 UTC
The commit adding the "container" attribute to "MDDetailData" was not backported to RHEL, it would an ABI change so we merged it upstream but it isn't part of the downstream patch for RHEL 8/9. So from https://github.com/storaged-project/libblockdev/pull/762 only the first two commits are in RHEL.

Comment 8 guazhang@redhat.com 2022-08-10 02:04:36 UTC
test pass with fixed package, move to verified
