can not show mountpoint for nvme disk

[zhangzhiqiangcs]

when I use ghw in my project on a machine with nvme, it just can not show nvme disk mountpoint.
I just run the sample code as

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/jaypipes/ghw"
)

func main() {
	block, err := ghw.Block()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Error getting block storage info: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%v\n", block)

	for _, disk := range block.Disks {
		fmt.Printf(" %v\n", disk)
		for _, part := range disk.Partitions {
			fmt.Printf("  %v\n", part)
		}
	}
}

Output

Did I use the code correctly ?

At glance, it seems you used the code correctly, but we have a bug in the block pkg if there is a filesystem directly on the block device, and not on a partition of it.
IOW:

1. disk with 1 giant partition, filesystem on the giant partition -> should work
2. disk without partition, filesystem on the block device directly -> seems broken

[zhangzhiqiangcs]

understand. thanks for your reply. maybe I can help to fix this.

[ffromani]

Sure, I need to work on a reproducer myself and then we can create a fix. Feel free to contribute fixes if you have time, I'd be happy to review.

[zhangzhiqiangcs]

by the way, I fond ghw can not aware the ssd disk when the disk is in a raid.
I don't know there is a way to fix this. or there is no regular method to discover the disk type behind raid.

[ffromani]

If the disk is attached to a true raid controller, then there is no easy way (there could be controller-specific ways), because the intent of the controller is to mask what's attached to it and present an abstract storage entity to the OS - hence to ghw

My fork (created to solve exactly this issue) treats a disk without partitions as if it has one partition. See tag 0.8.0-1:

This is very similar to what I had in mind to fix this issue. Would you be interested in sending a PR with your fix?

No problem
