Operator ruling 2026-07-13: walk the root's backing device through /sys/block/<dev>/slaves
recursively down to physical disks (dm AND md; topology, never VG names); those + any mounted-ESP
holder are system; the all-system fail-safe returns to being the WALK-FAILURE error case only.
SAFETY DIRECTION: a root-backing disk classified candidate is made impossible — per-branch
conservatism (any unresolvable slave fails the WHOLE walk -> ok=false -> the unchanged all-system
path).
- physicalDisksOf/walkSlaves in role.go (symlink canon -> wholeDiskOf fast path -> recursive
slaves walk; cycle/depth guard; non-/dev sources unwalkable)
- HostReader.BlockSlaves(name) — the ONE new seam method; ProcHostReader reads
/sys/block/<name>/slaves; all four test fakes mirror it
- role_walk_test.go: signature table (root-backing disk ALWAYS system across legacy-LVM /
md-raid / EFI+raw / EFI+LVM / nested dm-on-md — NEVER weaken) + dead-wizard-lives +
dangling-slave fail-safe (real sysKnown=false path) + cycle + empty-slaves; red-proofs A/B/D
run->fail->revert (recorded in REPORT)
- §3 spike transcripts (drill legacy: dm-1->sda3->sda; felhom-pve: ESP+walk agree on sda ->
byte-identical regression); caller audit: none relied on all-system as a feature
- format/mkfs paths, data-bearing guards, wizard UI untouched
Surfaced preparing the live USB validation on demo-felhom:
- observe.go: an unmounted removable dir-storage no longer falls through to the ROOT fs
for its backing device/UUID — durable_id was becoming uuid:<root-uuid> (a DR mis-id that
would re-attach the wrong disk). Now derived only from the target's own mountpoint;
unmounted → no device + stable store:<name> durable_id. Removed containingMountDevice.
- watchdog.go: remember the fs-UUID observed while attached and backfill it onto the
re-mount target, so re-mount works even if the known-set cache refreshed mid-drop
(doc 03 §7 "sourced from the existing definition").

Fill the slice-3 storage_targets stub and add the fast-poll storage watchdog.
Read-only this phase; the host-root surface (mounts/SMART/grow/destructive gate)
is Phase B. Hub-owned desired manifest is slice 10, so reconcile against it is
built-but-unfed.
- internal/storage: StorageTarget wire contract, durable_id derivation per type,
HostReader seam (procfs/sysfs, root-free), Observer (storage_targets from
ListStorage/NodeStorage + host reads, lvmthin thin-pool fill), and the watchdog
(third daemon goroutine; debounced out-of-band report on a known target's
attach/disconnect transition).
- proxmox.Storage: additive parse-only config fields (durable_id sources).
- collector StorageObserver seam; Loop.SetTrigger out-of-band report; daemon runs
the watchdog as a third goroutine; StorageConfig knobs.
- cross-repo golden kept byte-identical with felhom.eu/hub; bidirectional key-set test.
