Description

We should report volume sizes similar way as facter does on provisioned systems. Discovery only reports blockdevice_vda_vendor and blockdevices list, but not blockdevice_vda_size.

When running facter manually as root, I see it. We need to raise foreman-proxy privileges for this perhaps.

I was thinking suid... But then I relized this is discover-host.rb script which calls Facter via API. Not sure if we want to run the whole service as root... :-(

Ok its misbehavior of Foreman, we currently drop all facts which are non-string:

Ok so support for non-string values was added in Facter 2.0.

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.0/release_notes.html#more-return-types-and-structured-facts

I will create a patch that will at least prevent from failing, so all of the types (Integer, Float, TrueClass, FalseClass, NilClass, String, Array, Hash) will be converted via to_s. Raising new feature request that should add proper support in reports (maybe to convert this into JSON).

So the issue linked already contains the request, I am going to convert this to string for the purpose of this bug and we will perhaps extend this later.
