Code Review
This pull request introduces comprehensive disk management and cleanup utilities in avocado/utils/disk.py, including multipath normalization, dependency resolution, LVM/RAID teardown, and metadata wiping. The review feedback highlights several critical issues, including incorrect kernel name mapping for RAID slaves, dangerous substring matching during device unmounting, ordering bugs in LVM and RAID cleanup sequences, broken retry logic in metadata wiping due to stderr redirection, and potential multi-line parsing issues when retrieving volume groups.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

Hi @maramsmurthy is it a good idea to perhaps contribute this directly to https://github.com/avocado-framework/aautils/tree/main/autils? This adds a lot of code that is meant to be migrated to begin with. What do you think? |
Hi @pevogam, given that this change is currently part of our CR flow, we have a dependency on the existing implementation at this point. That said, I’m open to migrating it to aautils in the future if needed. Please let me know as part of the migration plan if you expect any changes in this code, so we can align early and avoid rework later. |
I assume by your projects depending on this implementation you mean that you use a patch or modified package in some way? Because the pull request is not merged in the repo and as such is not deployed with the default packages built here. If this then integrated as a patch or anything modular then perhaps it maybe we adjusted later on to simply patch on top of aautils?
Glad to hear this, I would say at this point the aautils is still fairly unexplored in terms of standardization so I would say bolder changes like this will also be merged less conservatively there (meaning that I don't expect any further changes to be needed unless you could of course provide some unit tests which would be much appreciated). |
Hi @pevogam, Thank you for the detailed feedback and for being open to future migration possibilities. I'd like to proceed with avocado.utils for this PR, as it maintains consistency with the current codebase and avoids introducing dependencies on aautils while it's still in the exploration phase. I completely understand your perspective on standardization. Before we finalize the approach, I'd also like to get @PraveenPenguin opinion on this, especially regarding the long-term direction and whether there are any specific migration considerations we should keep in mind. In the meantime, if you'd like me to make any other improvements to strengthen this implementation, please let me know and I'll be happy to incorporate them. Looking forward to hearing from both of you! |
|
Alright, let's also hear the opinion of @PraveenPenguin on this. Maybe also same for @harvey0100 but if they are too busy and turn around within enough given time we may find another way forward together on this. |

Hi @maramsmurthy and @pevogam, Thanks for the discussion. Given that, it may be beneficial to:
For now, I'd lean towards proceeding with Thanks again for the constructive discussion. Regards |
Interesting because I would have argued the same but with the exact opposite implications - it is the fact that aautils is so new and unestablished that would make contributions there much easier with much more lenient maintainers and maintainer reviews. Every addition of code into a functionality that is meant to be deprecated or migrated imposes additional technical debt on the project harboring such additions. Would you mind elaborating a bit more on what precisely you are referring regarding "maturity"? Is it that the aautils project has not enough test coverage or not easily deployable or something else?
What does such strong dependency entail? Your CI/CD pipeline is using a patched avocado version with these changes or do you mean something else? Could you elaborate a bit more on this sentence so I can understand your exact technical restrictions.
I would say we want to hold aautils to the same level of API stability as the other projects and most of the migration entails expansionist direction where each successive change is mostly additive.
I would not mind moving on with this at least for an initial pull request, it is just that I don't see much test coverage and it seems to me as a technical debt that will be offloaded to the avocado core maintainers instead of adjusting a hopefully easy enough to patch workflow. |
Hi @pevogam, Thanks for the clarification. Let me expand a bit on my earlier point. I completely agree that we should avoid creating long-term technical debt. My suggestion is mainly to give downstream consumers some time to align and then perform a more coordinated migration to aautils rather than treating avocado.utils as the permanent home for this functionality. Regards |
|
Hi again @PraveenPenguin and thanks for following up on this as well!
This is fully understandable and from what I gather the current PR is not merged, i.e. you are not using this functionality unless you have patched the avocado core code base. Note this PR is just about the current addition and previously used imports can be found in the same place as before, at least for now.
If I understand this right you mean the avocado-misc-tests repo needs adaptation to start using aautils in addition to avocado. Such adaptation has not yet taken place and the current PR contains code that whose use has also not yet taken place in avocado-misc-tests. So what this would imply is that you want to use the functionality of this PR now but not import aautils yet. Is the effort of importing aautils into avocado-misc-tests considered major at this point? I can see that it is already already available on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/aautils/) but it may not yet be available as a regular RPM. Is this the problem you point out?
Could you point me to any open issue there so I can see the details about this revamp?
Agreed on all points, my main points above are that:
|
Hi @pevogam, 1-Continue evolving disk.py within avocado.utils for the time being. We are already considering broader updates in some of these downstream areas, so my preference is mainly about migration timing and reducing churn rather than avoiding aautils. Regards |
I see, I guess what you mean is that this PR is concerned with the larger direction we are trying to establish. However referring particularly to the current PR here, @maramsmurthy I have pushed a migrating pull request at avocado-framework/aautils#106 so feel free to review it. We may then push a mirror PR there and add a deprecation warning to this one if we are about to merge it.
Exactly, and it will only require more imports and fixes also on the side of avocado-mist-tests. In other words, waiting for this will introduce additional technical debt not just for maintainers here like me but also for maintainers there like you.
Feel free to also review the PR above, as you can see an effort about this already underway.
I just don't see how migrating things now and not accepting any further technical debt on either side makes things worse for avocado-mist-tests. Note for instance that the current disk module can still be freely used by avocado-misc-tests and will not be dropped fast giving you plenty of time to move to the formal migration stage you wish to. The only difference for avocado-misc-tests right now is that it will not be able to use new features until it migrates and from your words above it is clear that it doesn't use new features like the ones introduced by this PR. |

Hi @maramsmurthy,
Could you confirm you have understood the changes I suggest and have pushed them here?
Could you also provide your own review for this pull request and create a follow up mirror PR there? |
I don't see what demands this to be done at once. You should be perfectly fine importing from both aautils and from the avocado utils at the same time wherever and whenever you need. Demanding that all of aautils is migrated by the time you switch means that you can always introduce new code in avocado utils pushing the aautils migration further into the future. Or am I missing something here? As I explain above the current functionality is not merged and thus guaranteed to not be used by anyone. Thus anyone wishing to use it simply needs to import a module from aautils. So what is the problem with these statements and am I missing something obvious?
You automation cannot be broken if it doesn't use unmerged functionality above or if it uses it but installs aautils alongside avocado utils. Or perhaps some important detail not mentioned yet?
IIUC your CI workflow can install both alongside each other to allow everyone else and yourself more gradual migration. |
@pevogam, I agree with @abdhaleegit. Since aautils is not part of the current automation CI production flow, I do not see a concern with accepting this approach. Any related changes can be merged into both aautils and Avocado utils in parallel, keeping them consistent. I fully understand the long-term objective of utility consolidation, but I do not think that should prevent us from accepting a valid contribution that solves the current problem cleanly. As maintainers, we should encourage contributors where possible while still keeping the broader architectural direction in mind. even we discuss enough on this PR :) |
I am not sure this is a good idea either. I could say that contributors will also have hard time creating double and fully-synced-at-all-times pull requests each time they have to contribute. Many might not even follow up with a second pull request since they have enough time and resources just to push and follow up on one PR rather than feedback from two (which btw should also be guaranteed to be identical).
Right so how could we encourage them by doubling their work and contributions? 😅
Also @abdhaleegit @PraveenPenguin note that none of my open questions above in attempt to understand what you need and aid you better has been replied so far. I need this detail if you have it since the only way further comments can be constructive is if they actually build on top of the arguments and counterarguments we have already collected together here. |

Closing this PR — we will be raising a new PR with all these utility functions as this is delaying our deliverables. We will address the autils requirment later in the PR. |

Do not interpolate disk paths into privileged shell commands.
get_absolute_disk_path() returns an existing input unchanged, and cleanup_disks() checks only path existence. normalize_multipath_devices() preserves metacharacters in non-/dev paths. wipe_disk_metadata() then interpolates dpath into privileged fuser, blockdev, wipefs, and dd commands.

Record every failed LVM query before selecting full
_find_lvm_structures() and _check_raid_for_lvm() treat non-zero pvs and lvs results as empty output. A failed query can hide a live volume group. Because neither helper updates discovery_errors, cleanup_disks(mode="auto") can select full and wipe or zero the disk.
Pass discovery_errors to both helpers and record every non-zero pvs/lvs result, including the VG-level queries. Do not treat a failed query as evidence that the disk is clean.

LVM pvs command exit status when device is not a physical volume
💡 Result:
When the pvs command is executed on a device that is not an LVM physical volume, it typically returns a non-zero exit status [1][2]. According to LVM documentation, all LVM tools return a status code of zero on success and a non-zero code on failure [1]. While the specific exit code can vary depending on the environment and LVM version, a non-zero status indicates that the command encountered an issue—such as the specified device not being recognized as a valid physical volume [1][2]. If you need to inspect devices that are not yet initialized as physical volumes, you can use the -a (or --all) option with pvs, which instructs the command to show information about all devices, including those not initialized by LVM [3][4][5]. However, even with this option, providing a specific device path that LVM cannot access or identify properly may still result in a non-zero exit status if the command otherwise fails to process the input correctly [1][2].

site:man7.org lvm pvs exit status physical volume label device
💡 Result:
LVM commands, including pvs, follow a standard convention for exit status codes: they return zero (0) to indicate success and a non-zero value to indicate failure [1][2]. The specific non-zero exit status codes are not granularly documented because they can vary between LVM releases as the software continues to evolve [2]. Generally, these non-zero codes differentiate between broad categories of failures, such as: 1. Unrecognized commands. 2. Errors in processing command-line arguments. 3. Other execution or operational failures. Because these codes are subject to change, it is recommended that scripts and automated tools rely on checking for a zero exit status for success, rather than depending on specific non-zero integer values for error handling [2]. Regarding the physical volume label: The pvs command reports information about physical volumes (PVs) that have already been initialized with an LVM disk label [1][3]. If a device does not have an LVM label (i.e., it has not been initialized with pvcreate), it will typically not be listed by pvs unless specifically configured to do so or if it is part of a volume group that the system recognizes [4][5]. LVM disk labels are stored on the device, typically beginning 512 bytes from the start of the device [4]. If you are writing scripts, you can use the standard shell exit status check (e.g., if pvs; then...) to determine if the command completed successfully [2]. For advanced testing scenarios, LVM provides environment variables like LVM_EXPECTED_EXIT_STATUS, which are primarily intended for internal test suites to manage automated log and status validation [1][2].

"pvs /dev" "No physical volume label" exit status
💡 Result:
The message "No physical volume label read from [device]" occurs when the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) utility cannot find a valid LVM metadata header (physical volume label) on the specified device [1][2][3]. This is an informational status message, not an error that inherently crashes the system, though it indicates that the tool cannot process the device as an LVM physical volume [2][4]. Common causes and scenarios include: 1. Device is not initialized: You may be attempting to run a command (like pvs, vgcreate, or vgextend) on a device that has not yet been prepared as a physical volume using pvcreate [3][5]. While some newer LVM versions or commands may automatically initialize devices, this message confirms that the initialization had not occurred prior to the command [6]. 2. LVM metadata corruption or loss: If the device was previously part of an LVM setup but you suddenly see this message, the LVM metadata at the beginning of the disk may have been overwritten, erased (e.g., via pvremove), or corrupted due to hardware issues or unexpected reboots [2][4]. 3. Wrong device specified: You might be targeting the wrong device or partition (e.g., pointing to /dev/sda instead of the intended partition /dev/sda1) [2]. If you believe the device should be a valid LVM physical volume, you can further investigate using tools like 'dd' to check for the presence of the LVM label at the start of the disk or 'fdisk'/'lsblk' to verify the device's partition type (which should be 8e or Linux LVM) [2][7]. If the metadata is accidentally wiped, data recovery may be complex and often requires restoring metadata backups from /etc/lvm/archive [8].

"pvs --noheadings -o vg_name" non-zero exit status no physical volume label
💡 Result:
When you run the command pvs --noheadings -o vg_name on a device that is not an initialized LVM physical volume, the command will output the warning "No physical volume label read from [device]" to standard error (stderr) and exit with a non-zero status [1][2]. This behavior occurs because pvs is attempting to scan the specified device for LVM metadata [3]. When no valid LVM physical volume label is found, LVM considers this a failure to read the requested attribute for that device [1][2]. If you are using this command in a script and need to handle the exit status, you can suppress the error message by redirecting stderr to /dev/null: pvs --noheadings -o vg_name /dev/path 2>/dev/null If you are checking multiple devices and want to avoid non-zero exits for uninitialized disks, you may need to filter your inputs or check the device status using blkid or pvs without restricting the output columns before running the command [4][3].

Do not record “no PV label” as a discovery error.
pvs --noheadings -o vg_name /dev/{dev} returns non-zero when the device has no LVM physical-volume label. _find_lvm_structures() records that expected result in discovery_errors, so cleanup_disks(mode="auto") falls back to light instead of selecting full. _check_raid_for_lvm() has the same issue. The 2>/dev/null redirect also removes the diagnostic needed to distinguish this case from a real query failure.
Handle the no-PV result separately, or enumerate PVs once with pvs and compare the returned devices.
