Research direction

Start in pkg/unikontainers/unikernels/linux.go around lines 171-181 and inspect Linux.MonitorBlockCli, focusing on the firecracker switch arm. Confirm the conditional is redundant and preserve the existing FC-prefixed block IDs; done means the dead conditional is removed without changing firecracker monitor arguments.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Refactor

Linux.MonitorBlockCli in pkg/unikontainers/unikernels/linux.go contains a dead conditional inside its case "firecracker": switch arm. The if l.Monitor == "firecracker" is always true at that point, because the surrounding switch l.Monitor has already selected that case.

This is a code-quality/ readability issue only.

Location

pkg/unikontainers/unikernels/linux.go, around lines 171-181 (current main):

case "firecracker":
    for _, aBlock := range l.Blk {
        id := aBlock.ID
        if l.Monitor == "firecracker" {   // <-- always true here
            id = "FC" + aBlock.ID
        }   
        blkArgs = append(blkArgs, types.MonitorBlockArgs{
            ID:   id,
            Path: aBlock.Source,
        })
    }
