I did a bit of research on XML::Simple, which is a dependency for os-autoinst, to see if we could validate the partitioning directly from the generated profile. It is quite promising, very easy to use, see POC here :https://github.com/JRivrain/scripts/blob/master/xmlSimple-example.pl.
However, we did not retain it for several reasons:

• We have to put that data in the yaml test data anyway, as we want to also validate the generated profile itself before, so it is kind of redundant
• We would have to gather this profile from the SUT, which is feasable but adds extra steps, when we already have the data in the yaml

So it is a great tool that we may find useful somewhere else, but it does not fully fit in this particular case.

So here is the location of the profile in case we want to adjust it: https://github.com/yast/aytests-tests/blob/master/aytests/lvm.xml
