If there is only one interface, the content of this field shall be cleared to zero. If there are two interfaces, such as an ATA Primary and Secondary interface, the primary interface shall be zero, and the secondary interface shall be one.

Values 00h through FEh shall represent a valid Channel Number.

class blivet.devicelibs.edd.EddMatcher(edd_entry, root=None)

Bases: object

This object tries to match given entry to a disk device name.

Assuming, heuristic analysis and guessing hapens here.

devname_from_ata_pci_dev()
devname_from_pci_dev()
devname_from_scsi_pci_dev()
devname_from_virt_pci_dev()
devname_from_virtio_scsi_pci_dev()
match_via_mbrsigs(mbr_dict)

Try to match the edd entry based on its mbr signature.

This will obviously fail for a fresh drive/image, but in extreme cases can also show false positives for randomly matching data.

blivet.devicelibs.edd.collect_edd_data(root=None)
blivet.devicelibs.edd.collect_mbrs(devices, root=None)

Read MBR signatures from devices.

Returns a dict mapping device names to their MBR signatures. It is not guaranteed this will succeed, with a new disk for instance.

blivet.devicelibs.edd.get_edd_dict(devices, root=None)

Generates the ‘device name’ -> ‘edd number’ mapping.

The EDD kernel module that exposes /sys/firmware/edd is thoroughly broken, the information there is incomplete and sometimes downright wrong. So after we mine out all useful information that the files under /sys/firmware/edd/int13_*/ can provide, we resort to heuristics and guessing. Our first attempt is, by looking at the device type int ‘interface’, attempting to map pci device number, channel number etc. to a sysfs path, check that the path really exists, then read the device name (e.g ‘sda’) from there. Should this fail we try to match contents of ‘mbr_signature’ to a real MBR signature found on the existing block devices.

Bases: blivet.devicelibs.raid.RAIDLevels

Add the specified standard levels to the levels in this object.

Parameters:levels (list of valid RAID level descriptors) – the levels to be added to this object

If levels is True, add all standard levels. Else, levels must be a list of valid level descriptors of standard levels. Duplicate descriptors are ignored.

classmethod is_raid_level(level)

blivet.devicelibs.raid module

class blivet.devicelibs.raid.ErsatzRAID

Bases: blivet.devicelibs.raid.RAIDLevel

A superclass for a raid level which is not really a raid level at all, just a bunch of block devices of possibly differing sizes thrown together. This concept has different names depending on where it crops up. btrfs’s name is single, lvm’s is linear. Consequently, this abstract class implements all the functionality, but there are distinct subclasses which have different names.

get_max_spares(member_count)
get_size(member_sizes, num_members=None, chunk_size=None, superblock_size_func=None)

class blivet.devicelibs.raid.RAIDLevel

Bases: object

An abstract class which is the parent of all classes which represent a RAID level.

It ensures that RAIDLevel objects will really be singleton objects by overriding copy methods.

has_redundancy()

Whether this RAID level incorporates inherent redundancy.

Note that for some RAID levels, the notion of redundancy is meaningless.

Return type:boolean
Returns:True if this RAID level has inherent redundancy
is_uniform

A decorator indicating abstract properties.

Requires that the metaclass is ABCMeta or derived from it. A class that has a metaclass derived from ABCMeta cannot be instantiated unless all of its abstract properties are overridden. The abstract properties can be called using any of the normal ‘super’ call mechanisms.

Usage:

class C(metaclass=ABCMeta):

@abstractproperty def my_abstract_property(self):

...

This defines a read-only property; you can also define a read-write abstract property using the ‘long’ form of property declaration:

class C(metaclass=ABCMeta):
def getx(self): ... def setx(self, value): ... x = abstractproperty(getx, setx)

‘abstractproperty’ is deprecated. Use ‘property’ with ‘abstractmethod’ instead.

min_members

class blivet.devicelibs.raid.RAIDLevels(levels=None)

Bases: object

A class which keeps track of registered RAID levels. This class may be extended, overriding the is_raid method to include any additional properties that a client of this package may require for its RAID levels.

Add the specified standard levels to the levels in this object.

Parameters:levels (list of valid RAID level descriptors) – the levels to be added to this object

If levels is True, add all standard levels. Else, levels must be a list of valid level descriptors of standard levels. Duplicate descriptors are ignored.

add_raid_level(level)

Adds level to levels if it is not already there.

Parameters:level (object) – an object representing a RAID level

Raises a RaidError if level is not valid.

Does not allow duplicate level objects.

classmethod is_raid_level(level)

Return False if level does not satisfy minimum requirements for a RAID level, otherwise return True.

Parameters:level (object) – an object representing a RAID level

There must be at least one element in the names list, or the level will be impossible to look up by any string.

The name property must be defined; it should be one of the elements in the names list.

All RAID objects that extend RAIDlevel are guaranteed to pass these minimum requirements.

This method should not be overridden in any subclass so that it is so restrictive that a RAIDlevel object does not satisfy it.

raid_level(descriptor)

Return RAID object corresponding to descriptor.

Parameters:descriptor (object) – a RAID level descriptor

Note that descriptor may be any object that identifies a RAID level, including the RAID object itself.

Raises a RaidError if no RAID object can be found for this descriptor.

class blivet.devicelibs.raid.RAIDn

Bases: blivet.devicelibs.raid.RAIDLevel

An abstract class which is the parent of classes which represent a numeric RAID level. A better word would be classification, since ‘level’ implies an ordering, but level is the canonical word.

The abstract properties of the class are:

  • level: A string containing the number that designates this level
  • nick: A single nickname for this level, may be None

All methods in this class fall into these categories:

  1. May not be overrridden in any subclass.
  2. Are private abstract methods.
  3. Are special Python methods, e.g., __str__

Note that each subclass in this file is instantiated immediately after it is defined and using the same name, effectively yielding a singleton object of the class.

alt_synth_names

names that can be synthesized from level but are not name

get_base_member_size(size, member_count)

The required size for each member of the array for storing only data.

Parameters:
  • size (Size) – size of data to be stored
  • member_count (int) – number of members in this array
Return type:

Size

Raises a RaidError if member_count is fewer than the minimum number of members required for this array or if size is less than 0.

get_max_spares(member_count)

The maximum number of spares for this level.

Parameters:member_count (int) – the number of members belonging to the array
Return type:int

Raiess a RaidError if member_count is fewer than the minimum number of members required for this level.

get_net_array_size(member_count, smallest_member_size)

Return the space, essentially the number of bits available for storage. This value is generally a function of the smallest member size. If the smallest member size represents the amount of data that can be stored on the smallest member, then the result will represent the amount of data that can be stored on the array. If the smallest member size represents both data and metadata, then the result will represent the available space in the array for both data and metadata.

Parameters:
  • member_count (int) – the number of members in the array
  • smallest_member_size (Size) – the size of the smallest member of this array
Returns:

the array size
Return type:

Size

Raises a RaidError if member_count is fewer than the minimum number of members required for this array or if size is less than 0.

Return a recommended stride size in blocks.

Returns None if there is no recommended size.

Parameters:member_count (int) – the number of members in the array
Return type:int or None

Raises a RaidError if member_count is fewer than the minimum number of members required for this level

get_size(member_sizes, num_members=None, chunk_size=None, superblock_size_func=None)

Estimate the amount of data that can be stored on this array.

Parameters:
  • member_size (list of Size) – a list of the sizes of members of this array
  • num_members (int) – the number of members in the array
  • chunk_size (Size) – the smallest unit of size read or written
  • superblock_size_func (a function from Size to Size) – a function that estimates the superblock size for this array
Returns:

an estimate of the amount of data that can be stored on this array
Return type:

Size

Note that the number of members in the array may not be the same as the length of member_sizes if the array is still under construction.

get_space(size, num_members, chunk_size=None, superblock_size_func=None)

Estimate the amount of memory required by this array, including memory allocated for metadata.

Parameters:
  • size (Size) – the amount of data on this array
  • num_members (int) – the number of members in the array
  • chunk_size (Size) – the smallest unit of size read or written
  • superblock_size_func (a function from Size to Size) – a function that estimates the superblock size for this array
Returns:

an estimate of the memory required, including metadata
Return type:
