[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] kimchi.disks: Ignore unsupported partition table

From: Zhou Zheng Sheng <zhshzhou(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; Some types of partition table such as AIX partition table are used by proprietary systems. The open-source disk tools such as fdisk and parted can not handle these partition tables. There is no obvious way to get extended partition until those proprietary partition tables are supported by Linux officially. In this patch we treate unsupported partiton table as if it does not contain extended partition. bug-url: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566722 Signed-off-by: Zhou Zheng Sheng <zhshzhou(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; --- src/kimchi/disks.py | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/kimchi/disks.py b/src/kimchi/disks.py index 5f004b3..842fd48 100644 --- a/src/kimchi/disks.py +++ b/src/kimchi/disks.py @@ -97,7 +97,15 @@ def _is_dev_extended_partition(devType, devNodePath): return False diskPath = devNodePath.rstrip('0123456789') device = PDevice(diskPath) - extended_part = PDisk(device).getExtendedPartition() + try: + extended_part = PDisk(device).getExtendedPartition() + except NotImplementedError as e: + kimchi_log.warning( + "Error getting extended partition info for dev %s type %s: %s", + devNodePath, devType, e.message) + # Treate disk with unsupported partiton table as if it does not + # contain extended partitions. + return False if extended_part and extended_part.path == devNodePath: return True return False -- 1.9.0
