When a user have several disks on his machine he has to use the manual partitioning which is prone to failure for inexperienced users. * It would be useful to understand how many disks are installed on a system and their size to determine how update the installer to best suit users' needs. * We only report mounted partitions size [Test Case] * Install the new version from -proposed * run `ubuntu-report show` -> check that there is a Disks field, corresponding to arrays in GiB of disk sizes attached to the system. Non spinning disks, ssds or virtual machine disks are ignored. [Regression Potential] * As with the rest of ubuntu-report code, any error results in an empty, and so ommitted field. We report as many valid values as possible and discare invalid ones. * Backed up via a lot of new and existing tests, checking corner cases like no valid size/number of block, empty size/number of block file, missing partial informations from the kernel, ignoring loop and other random devices… ____ Currently the guided methods of the Ubuntu installer only address single disk setup.

It would be useful to understand how many disks are installed on a system and their size to determine how update the installer to best suit users' needs. This information is available from /sys/block/<device>/size . The information is in blocks. The block size is available from /sys/block/<device>/queue/{logical|physical}_block_size For example on my system $ cat /sys/block/sda/{size,queue/*_block_size} 125045424 512 512 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.10 Package: ubuntu-report 1.2.0 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-23.25-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Jul 30 14:42:25 2018 Dependencies: gcc-8-base 8.2.0-1ubuntu2 libc6 2.27-3ubuntu1 libgcc1 1:8.2.0-1ubuntu2 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-07-15 (1476 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140520) SourcePackage: ubuntu-report UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to cosmic on 2018-03-24 (127 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-report/+bug/1784383/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
