Comment 9 for bug 1869116

That makes sense based on the other information in this bug.

MAAS sends the test runner a list of storage devices to run hardware tests on. The test runner uses the model and serial to map to a block device name. This block device name is passed to the smartctl-validate script. smartctl-validate uses smartctl to determine if SMART data is available for the device.

Because the model name differs between lsblk and lxc it can't be looked up and the test is marked as a failure. The mapping needs to work so MAAS can pass the block device to to smartctl-validate which knows the test can be skipped.
