  • I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered

Description

I have a virtual cloud server that uses a virtio-based virtual disk. But fastfetch reports that this disk is an HDD.

Version used

fastfetch 2.40.1 (x86_64)

Bug prevalence

Always

Regression

Not sure

Installation

GitHub Releases

Package manager

apt(dpkg)

Other

I don't force you to identify virtual devices from all sorts of clues, because if someone wants to hide them, then it's almost impossible to identify them.

However, in this case, it's a virtual hard drive that couldn't be more obvious. It uses the Virtio driver, and the device naming program calls it "vda"(/dev/vda).

For this kind of device, I believe we should say [Virtual] or [Virtual, Fixed] instead of [HDD, Fixed].

lshw:
