[Bug 830468] YaST2 spins up unmounted harddisks for many harddisk-unrelated config tasks

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830468 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830468#c2 --- Comment #2 from Andreas Nordal 2014-06-12 03:04:33 UTC --- Enumerating disks and partitions without spinning them up can be done by looking at /dev/disk/by-id/. Is it necessary to determine filesystem type/raid superblocks for non-mounted filesystems? If not, that's the answer: - Filesystems, just look at /proc/mounts. - Raid superblocks, I'm guessing there must be (similar) ways to see how block devices are in use by mdadm/lvm. If it ain't in use, don't look at it ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
