mediaType,deviceType values more generic when write blocker is used #13

Closed bitsgalore closed 2 years ago

bitsgalore commented 2 years ago

Without using a write blocker, here's the batch manifest entry for a 1.44 MB floppy::

jobID,PPN,volumeNo,title,mediaType,deviceType,success
21c594d8-18b3-11ed-9854-0800272c26ff,155658050,1,(Bijna) alles over bestandsformaten,F3_1Pt44_512,,True

Output for same floppy when using a write blocker (Tableau T8U):

jobID,PPN,volumeNo,title,mediaType,deviceType,success
3311b232-18ba-11ed-8b4b-0800272c26ff,155658050,1,(Bijna) alles over bestandsformaten,RemovableMedia,FILE_DEVICE_DISK,False

Note that the (very specific) F3_1Pt44_512 is replaced with the generic RemovableMedia after the write blocker was inserted between the drive and the host machine.

Not entirely sure if this is the result of my VirtualBox-based test setup, or something that always happens. Needs confirmation on physical machine.

Removed medium identification since Aaru does this better: https://github.com/KBNLresearch/ipmlab/commit/1a2c5d273ba6804ed710537d30bdcc1931202df9
