From: Sebastian Parschauer Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 10:30:37 +0200 Subject: libparted: Don't warn if no HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl References: bsc#964012, bsc#1001967 Patch-mainline: v3.3 Git-commit: 3df498541058e933881190677b4cf10193f6aa68 Fully virtualized Xen VMs (HVM) use Linux IDE devices which don't support the HDIO_GET_IDENTITY ioctl. EINVAL is returned, a warning is printed and the device model is set to "Generic IDE" in that case. The problem is seeing the warning all the time. So drop it for this case.
