onboard disks appearing as removable, causes disk tests to be skipped

[Jeff Lane ]

see https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/201702-25423/submission/117410/test-results/

From disk/detect:
Name: /dev/sda
 Model: MR9362-8i
 Size: 278.9G

Appears to be a MegaRAID hardware raid device, possibly it's hot-swap and being mis-identified

I have a feeling that the block device name check is the real culprit, as of the skipped test, that is the common check between all the skipped tests:

disk/disk_cpu_load_sda test untested job cannot be started: resource expression "block_device.state != 'removable' and block_device.name == 'sda'" evaluates to false

disk/disk_stress_ng_sda test untested job cannot be started: resource expression "block_device.state != 'removable' and block_device.name == 'sda'" evaluates to false

disk/read_performance_sda test untested job cannot be started: resource expression "block_device.state != 'removable' and block_device.name == 'sda'" evaluates to false

disk/smart_sda test untested job cannot be started: resource expression "block_device.smart == 'True' and block_device.name == 'sda'" evaluates to false

disk/stats_sda test untested job cannot be started: resource expression "block_device.state != 'removable' and block_device.name == 'sda'" evaluates to false

I'm awaiting a reply from the tester with a dump of the udev database for more info.

Not sure what happened, but it appears they rebuilt the RAID array and this went away. So maybe an incompatible raid option?

They never provided needed info so closing this for now as invalid.
