Subject: [PATCH] state: helpful error message if state GUID cannot be found
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:24:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113132444.3808198-1-ejo@pengutronix.de> (raw)
So far, if the user didn't specify a valid GPT UID, state initialization
failed with the not so helpful error message:
| ERROR: state state.of: probe failed: Invalid argument
Improve this by also providing a helpful error message.
