Add an optional bitlocker section to PrepareInput mapping drive letters to keyfile paths, sourced from V2V_BITLOCKER_DIR (default /etc/bitlocker). The qemu backend parses diskpart LDM output to detect BitLocker volumes and opens them before mounting; guestfs and direct report the option as unsupported.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for Windows LDM dynamic disks and BitLocker volumes when using the QEMU backend.
    • Added BitLocker key-file configuration for preparation workflows, including environment and command-line options.
    • Added an example configuration for BitLocker-enabled Windows guests.
    • Unsupported Windows layouts now receive clear backend-specific errors.
  • Documentation

    • Documented LDM, BitLocker, and backend compatibility requirements.
    • Added appliance and contribution guidance for required Windows volume tooling.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for Windows volume detection, LDM discovery, and BitLocker configuration.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Windows volume detection, QEMU support for LDM dynamic disks, BitLocker key-file configuration and decryption, preparation pipeline integration, appliance tooling, and documentation.

Changes

Windows storage support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Layout detection and backend contracts
pkg/backend/backend.go, pkg/backend/windowsvol/..., pkg/backend/plugins/direct/backend.go, pkg/backend/plugins/guestfs/..., pkg/backend/windowsvol/detect_test.go
Backends expose LDM and BitLocker operations. Unix detectors classify Windows layouts. Direct and guestfs reject unsupported layouts.
QEMU LDM assembly
pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/backend.go, pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/detect.go, pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/ldm.go, pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/crypt.go, pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/teardown.go, pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/ldm_test.go
QEMU activates LDM with ldmtool, discovers mapper devices, updates disk metadata, refreshes paths, and removes LDM state during teardown.
BitLocker input and decryption
pkg/common/types/types.go, pkg/v2v/config/..., pkg/v2v/env/..., pkg/prepare/guest/bitlocker/scan.go, pkg/guest/guest.go, pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/crypt.go
The input model and environment configuration carry BitLocker key files. The QEMU backend opens BitLocker devices with cryptsetup --type bitlk.
Prepare volume orchestration
pkg/cmd/prepare/pipeline.go
The pipeline combines LVM, LDM, LUKS, and BitLocker discovery and unlocking, then includes discovered paths in root and mount planning.
Appliance and documentation
build/kc-appliance/..., community/CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/apps/..., docs/architecture/backends.md
The appliance installs libldm. Documentation describes backend support, BitLocker configuration, LDM tooling, and an example input file.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 1ea7f

The BitLocker preparation flow can ignore the configured keyfile location, reject valid GPT disks, fail to detect guestfs partitions, or miss activated qemu volumes, causing supported migrations to fail or omit required encrypted disks. These current-head correctness issues should be fixed before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@pkg/backend/plugins/guestfs/detect.go`:
- Around line 29-45: Update scanDiskWindowsVolumes to enumerate actual partition
device paths instead of treating part-list fields as devices: use
list-partitions with the appropriate disk filtering or resolve each parsed
part_num to its device path before vfs-type and partitionType probing. Preserve
classification behavior and add fixtures covering /dev/sda1 and /dev/nvme0n1p2.

In `@pkg/backend/plugins/qemu/ldm.go`:
- Around line 47-51: Update the LDM mapper discovery in the function containing
parseLsblkLDMDevices to query lsblk with a flat, all-device listing using --list
instead of passing /dev/mapper, then filter results to ldm_ device names;
alternatively make the parser recursively traverse children. Ensure the parser
handles the selected output shape and add a fixture covering it.

In `@pkg/backend/windowsvol/detect.go`:
- Around line 16-20: Replace the GPT LDM GUID constants used by Classify with
5808c8aa-7e8f-42e0-85d2-e1e90434cfb3 for metadata and
af9b60a0-1431-4f62-bc68-3311714a69ad for data, ensuring both classify as
KindLDM. Add regression coverage for both LDM GUIDs and verify the Microsoft
Reserved Partition GUID is not classified as KindLDM.

In `@pkg/v2v/env/load.go`:
- Line 47: Update the bitlocker-dir flag initialization in the load
configuration flow to use envOr with EnvBitLockerDir and DefaultBitLockerDir,
ensuring V2V_BITLOCKER_DIR overrides the fallback directory. Add a load test
covering the environment-variable value and confirming it is used by
PrepareInput.

util-linux lsblk man page --list JSON blockdevices children device argument directory /dev/mapper

💡 Result:

The lsblk utility, part of the util-linux package, provides a --json (or -J) flag to output block device information in JSON format [1][2]. When using this output mode, several key behaviors regarding list formatting and hierarchy apply: JSON Structure and Hierarchy The inclusion of the children[] array in the JSON output, which represents the relationship between devices, depends on the columns and flags used [1][3]. The children[] array is automatically enabled if the NAME column is present in the output or if the --tree command-line option is explicitly used [1][4]. If you want to ensure the presence of this structure in your JSON output, it is highly recommended to use the --tree option [4]. List vs. Tree Formatting The --list (or -l) option instructs lsblk to produce output as a flat list [1][2]. When --list is used, information regarding relationships between devices (i.e., the tree hierarchy) is not provided [1][5]. Since util-linux version 2.34, using --list ensures each device is printed only once, provided that --pairs or --raw are not specified [6][3]. /dev/mapper and Device Arguments When you pass a specific device argument, such as /dev/mapper/your-device, lsblk typically restricts its focus to that device and its sub-tree (descendants) [7]. However, lsblk does not inherently read the parents of a device if you define that device as the root of the query [7]. If a device exists within a more complex environment (such as multiple parents in a LVM thin-pool or certain RAID configurations), the output may only show the device and its children within that specific sub-tree context [7]. Best Practices for Scripting Official documentation and maintainers strongly recommend the following for stable, machine-readable output in scripts: 1. Always explicitly define the expected columns using the --output (or -o) flag, as the default column set is subject to change across versions [1][6]. 2. Use --json combined with --output and --tree to ensure a predictable, hierarchical structure [1][4]. 3. If you require a flat list of devices in a stable format without hierarchical relationships, combine --list with your defined --output columns [1][5]. For debugging or verifying which columns are available for the --output flag, you can use the --list-columns (or -H) flag, which can also be combined with --json for machine-readable column metadata [1][3].

🌐 Web query:

site:man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/lsblk.8.html "device argument" "block devices" "not a block device"

💡 Result:

The error message not a block device in Linux typically corresponds to the ENOTBLK error code. It indicates that a command expected to interact with a block device—a type of device file that represents storage hardware such as hard drives, SSDs, or partitions—but was instead provided with a file or device node that does not satisfy that requirement. Common causes for this error include: 1. Incorrect file path: The path provided to the command points to a regular file, a directory, or a character device instead of the intended block device. 2. Wrong device node: You may be attempting to mount or operate on a device node that is not configured as a block device or is misidentified. 3. Logical vs. physical mismatch: The command might be restricted to specific types of block devices, and the target provided does not match those expectations. To troubleshoot this, you can verify the type of the device or file using the ls -l command. The output will show a file type character at the beginning of the permissions string: b: Block device (e.g., /dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1) c: Character device (e.g., /dev/tty, /dev/null) -: Regular file If you are using tools like lsblk to inspect storage, ensure you are referencing the correct path and that the device is properly recognized by the system. If you believe the device should be a block device but is not appearing as one, you may need to verify your hardware connection or check for kernel-level driver issues.

🌐 Web query:

lsblk man page "The device argument is optional" "block devices"

💡 Result:

Yes, the device argument in the lsblk command is optional [1][2][3]. The command's syntax is defined as: lsblk [options] [device...] When the optional device argument is omitted, lsblk lists information about all available block devices [1][2][3]. If one or more specific devices are provided as arguments, the command limits its output to those specified devices [1][2][3]. Devices should be specified as pathnames (e.g., /dev/sda) [1][2].

Citations:


Use a flat lsblk query for mapper discovery.

/dev/mapper is a directory, not a block-device argument. This call can fail and leave ldmPaths empty after successful LDM activation. The parser also reads only top-level blockdevices, so nested mapper devices are ignored. Query all devices with --list and filter ldm_ names, or recursively traverse children. Add a fixture for the selected output shape.
