update: Skip bootloader update when no block devices back the root - #1163
cgwalters-bot wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
In environments without block-backed boot filesystems (virtiofs in bcvk ephemeral, NFS root, ISO boot, etc.) there is no on-disk bootloader to manage. Previously the update path would fail because list_dev_current_root() bailed when it could not find a block device from /boot or /sysroot.

💡 Result:
In bootc **1.16.12**, `list_dev_by_dir` is in `crates/blockdev/src/blockdev.rs` (the crate source path is `src/blockdev.rs`). The Fedora debug-source package also lists that file under `/usr/src/debug/bootc-1.16.12-1.fc45.s390x/crates/blockdev/src/blockdev.rs`. ([rpmfind.net](https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/updates/testing/43/s390x/debug/Packages/b/bootc-debugsource-1.16.12-1.fc43.s390x.html?utm_source=openai))
For a locally installed Fedora RPM, install its matching `bootc-debugsource` package to access the source. The function’s ZFS dataset handling was added in bootc 1.15.2. ([newreleases.io](https://newreleases.io/project/github/bootc-dev/bootc/release/v1.15.2?utm_source=openai))

💡 Result:
In bootc **v1.16.12**, `list_dev_by_dir` inspects the filesystem mounted at the given directory. For ZFS filesystems (or sources beginning with `ZFS=`), it resolves the dataset to a backing device; otherwise it passes the filesystem source to `list_dev`. [1]
The function is in [`crates/blockdev/src/blockdev.rs`](https://github.com/bootc-dev/bootc/blob/v1.16.12/crates/blockdev/src/blockdev.rs#L3064-L3078). ([github.com](https://github.com/bootc-dev/bootc/blob/v1.16.12/crates/blockdev/src/blockdev.rs))

Do not convert device lookup errors into a successful no-device result.
list_dev_current_root suppresses every error from opening /boot and /sysroot and from list_dev_by_dir. The bound bootc-internal-blockdev 1.16.12 API returns Result<Device> and uses errors for filesystem-inspection failures, lsblk failures, and empty device output. The current code can therefore convert an inspection failure into Ok(None). prep_before_update then skips both update commands and returns success.
Keep the /boot to /sysroot fallback and the intentional skip for non-block-backed systems, but add an explicit absence classification. Propagate inspection and command errors instead of treating every Err as absence.
