Description

Motivation¶

There is a couple of feature that can be covered in the same scenario.

Disk directly formatted (also called "using the whole disk) or in other words, without involving partitioning. We already covered this when we directly used physical volume but the other possibility is to format directly home.
Configure whether (and where, using an alias) Agama should calculate and create the extra partitions needed for booting.

We could combine both in single scenario with a profile which might look like this:

{
    "storage": {
        "drives": [
            {
                "search": "/dev/vda",
                "filesystem": {
                    "path": "/home"
                }
            },
            {
                "search": "/dev/vdb",
                "partitions": [
                    {
                        "filesystem": {
                            "path": "/"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "search": "/dev/vdc",
                "alias": "boot-disk"
            }
        ],
        "boot": {
            "configure": "true",
            "device": "boot-disk"
        }
    }
}

I possible name could be this: sles_whole_disk_and_boot_unattended which is "almost" clear.

Acceptance criteria¶

AC1: Create new test suite to format directly home and configure boot partition in a different disk.
AC2: Validation should check that boot is really in a separate partition from root and that /home is not in any partition but in the disk itself.

Draft without verification runs or validation do not make much sense, please use reporting wisely once you have achieve something that goes beyond the ticket specification.
Reason: to avoid look at something or trigger a review and finding nothing to do, I hope it is understandable.

Now use UEFI for boot from the boot disk and coding up for partition verificatin,I'd send out review again after run the VR. Thanks

Yes, would be descriptive.
