Bug Description
[Impact]
* Currently the guided methods of the Ubuntu installer only address single disk setup. When a user have several disks on his machine he has to use the manual partitioning which is prone to failure for inexperienced users.
* It would be useful to understand how many disks are installed on a system and their size to determine how update the installer to best suit users' needs.
* We only report mounted partitions size
[Test Case]
* Install the new version from -proposed
* run `ubuntu-report show`
-> check that there is a Disks field, corresponding to arrays in GiB of disk sizes attached to the system. Non spinning disks, ssds or virtual machine disks are ignored.
[Regression Potential]
* As with the rest of ubuntu-report code, any error results in an empty, and so ommitted field. We report as many valid values as possible and discare invalid ones.
* Backed up via a lot of new and existing tests, checking corner cases like no valid size/number of block, empty size/number of block file, missing partial informations from the kernel, ignoring loop and other random devices…
