#1301 Issue closed: Handle eMMC and NVMe naming schemes (also for migrations)

  • rear version: 2.00 git
  • OS version: Arch
  • rear configuration files: USB NETFS
  • Are you using legacy BIOS or UEFI boot? UEFI
  • Brief description of the issue: Migration from /dev/sda to /dev/nvme0n1 fails, due to device translation /dev/sda1 becomes /dev/nvme0n11 in the new disklayout.conf, which in the generated script becomes partition 11 (instead of 1).

Note:
/dev/nvme0n1 = first NVMe drive
/dev/nvme9n1 = 10th NVMe drive
/dev/nvme10n1 = 11th NVMe drive

I suspect similar failures for eMMC storage, using naming scheme /dev/mmcblk*

And Clonezilla lists that there are also nvme naming schemes like nvme*n2, nvme*n3:

  • Expand NVME support to disk device name like /dev/nvme0n2, and /dev/nvme0n3 instead of /dev/nvme0n1 only.
