Re: [Libguestfs] [v2v PATCH v2] convert_linux: translate the first CD-ROM's references in boot conf files

If the only CD-ROM in "s_removables" is on an IDE controller, and the guest kernel represents it with a /dev/hdX device node, then convert references to this device node, in the boot config files, to /dev/cdrom. On the destination (after conversion), /dev/cdrom will point to whataver node we converted the CD-ROM to, masking a potential i440fx -> q35 (IDE -> SATA) board change. If the only CD-ROM is not on an IDE controller, or the guest is modern enough to represent the IDE CD-ROM as /dev/sr0, then perform no translation. Namely, /dev/sr0 survives a potential i440fx -> q35 (IDE -> SATA) board change intact. When multiple CD-ROMs exist, emit a warning, and attempt the conversion on the first CD-ROM, as a guess. This may be inexact, but we can't do better, because: - SATA, SCSI, and (on modern guests) IDE CD-ROMs are lumped together in the /dev/sr* namespace, on the source side, and "s_removable_slot" is useless for telling them apart, as we don't know the exact controller topology (and OS enumeration order); - after conversion: some OSes don't create /dev/cdrom* symlinks to all CD-ROMs, and even if multiple such symlinks are created, their order is basically random. Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1637857 Signed-off-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek(a)redhat.com&gt; --- Notes: v2: - Use List.length >= 2 rather than matching with three cons operations. [Rich] - At the same time, eliminate wrong precedence between "->" in a match, and ";". [Rich] - Match the first element of the cdrom list, and the contents of that element, in a single "match" expression. [Rich] - Not tested, due to the issue I described in <8b3ce08b-ea47-dc1c-f441-c8b91708bd6f(a)redhat.com&gt; (cannot provide a mailing list URL because the archive seems to have stopped refreshing itself?) convert/convert_linux.ml | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/test-v2v-cdrom.expected | 2 +- tests/test-v2v-cdrom.xml.in | 4 +++- tests/test-v2v-i-ova.xml | 2 +- 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/convert/convert_linux.ml b/convert/convert_linux.ml index 8dc648169dcb..d49ecec03aeb 100644 --- a/convert/convert_linux.ml +++ b/convert/convert_linux.ml @@ -1020,6 +1020,25 @@ let convert (g : G.guestfs) source inspect keep_serial_console _ = "xvd" ^ drive_name i, block_prefix_after_conversion ^ drive_name i ) source.s_disks in + (* Check the first CD-ROM.
