Proposed change(s)

  • Fix the following warning:
    "/usr/sbin/aws-nvme-disk: line 15: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input" warnings in boot logs
    

This has multiple reasons:

  1. We are off by one byte (block device name starts after 3072 bytes, not on byte 3072 what tail -c +3072 would achieve).
  2. We still print the remaining NVMe identify response. The spaces belong to the block device name, the rest has been NULL bytes so far, which is also where that error comes from.

Now if we take a closer look at how that struct is defined from Amazon's script, we can find that it is supposed to be 32 bytes long: https://github.com/amazonlinux/amazon-ec2-utils/blob/34294c2fbb37ffd2f2e7d0d82ee8522e7ec3c02d/ebsnvme-id#L50-L51

The remaining response is the "RESERVED" block we are hitting, which is conveniently NULL but could also be something else in the future. Who knows.

So let's do that properly:

  1. Start at byte 3073
  2. Only parse 32 bytes

Since the whole name struct is initialised with spaces (\20), we only need to trim those and don't need to trim any NULL bytes additionally.

With that, the output should be clean:

sudo nvme amzn id-ctrl -b /dev/nvme0n1 | tail -c +3073 | head -c 32 | tr -d ' ' | xxd
00000000: 7364 6131                                sda1

Additional info

  • For more context, this is what the output looks like starting on byte 3072:
sudo nvme amzn id-ctrl -b "/dev/nvme0n1" | tail -c +3072 | xxd

Missed adding head in the initramfs first time so it was stuck there.
Added it, passes tests: https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/actions/runs/3942721418
