bootc-internal-blockdev 1.16.12 list_dev_by_dir source
💡 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.

@cgwalters thoughts on this? And if we're keeping as-is, is there any point in the function returning a Result<>?

We should certainly propagate (not swallow/suppress) errors apart from ENOENT or equivalent so yes should likely rework this

But with a careful look at the cases where listing the blockdev might fail - like with the virtiofs case, I think we need to ensure again we're gracefully handling the "no blockdevs" cases.

Hmm this is too hacky. One good first check is having a nonzero st_dev, but then we need to special case btrfs at least. I don't think we should special case zfs like this unless there's prior motivation in bootc.
Which btw, we may need a prep PR to have list_dev_of_mount actually live in bootc-blockdev
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.

Do not exclude a block-backed /boot directory.
When /boot is a directory on a block-backed root filesystem and /sysroot is absent, this guard rejects /boot before checking its backing filesystem. A mountpoint identifies the root of a mount, not every directory backed by that mount. (github.com)
Discovery then returns None. Update and adopt-and-update return success without updating the bootloader, and validation skips installed components.
Allow filesystem classification for existing directories, or add a block-backed / fallback. Preserve the skip for non-block-backed filesystems. Adjust the plain-directory test so it does not require skipping a block-backed directory.
