atop doesn't show virtio disks

[Hark]

When running in a virtual machine, virtio disks like /dev/vda are not shown in atop. Please also see Debian bug 640527

I am not a C coder, but I think adding a line to the validdisk[] array in photosyst.c should solve the problem. It is now

validdisk[] = {
        { "^ram[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, (void *)0, NONTYPE, },
        { "^loop[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, (void *)0, NONTYPE, },
        { "^sd[a-z][a-z]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^dm-[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, lvmmapname, LVMTYPE, },
        { "^md[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, nullmodname, MDDTYPE, },
        { "^hd[a-z]$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^rd/c[0-9][0-9]*d[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^cciss/c[0-9][0-9]*d[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^fio[a-z][a-z]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "/host.*/bus.*/target.*/lun.*/disc", {0}, abbrevname1, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^xvd[a-z][a-z]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^dasd[a-z][a-z]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
        { "^mmcblk[0-9][0-9]*$", {0}, nullmodname, DSKTYPE, },
};

As you can see there is no line for ^vd[a-z] block devices.

This has been fixed in version 1.27. Debian fixed it in version 1.26-2 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640527). It would be great if the Ubuntu team can also fix this bug for Precise.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I confirm this.
