[Wp-mirror-list] [PATCH RFC] hdparm: tolerate being in a Virtual Machine

[wp mirror]

Dear Jason,

Thank you for the patch.  I am glad to read that you are now building
a mirror of simple.

1) sysfs

I would like to understand how sysfs handles the configuration of your
VM and how wp-mirror walks the /sys directory tree.

2) /var/log/wp-mirror.log

If possible, could you please send me, as an attachment, the log file
from your `out-of-the-box' run.  The log file can be found by
executing:

(root-shell)# ls -l /var/log/wp-mirror.log*
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  163911 Dec  9 11:18 /var/log/wp-mirror.log
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1378658 Dec  9 01:53 /var/log/wp-mirror.log.1.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm  576051 Dec  8 07:59 /var/log/wp-mirror.log.2.gz

The desired log file would probably be the oldest one, but to be sure
that it contains the desired output, please execute:

(root-shell)# zcat /var/log/wp-mirror.log.2.gz | grep slaves
...
[1234]sys-pathname-slaves-found      : (/sys/devices/....)
...
(root-shell)# zcat /var/log/wp-mirror.log.2.gz | grep physical
...
[1234]physical-block-device-list           : (/sys/devices/...)

Sincerely Yours,
Kent
