+Cloud-init supports the creation of simple partition tables and filesystems
+on devices.
+
+default disk definitions
+------------------------
+

+ ephmeral0:
+ type: 'mbr'
+ layout: True
+ overwrite: False
+ fs_setup:
+ ephemeral0:
+ filesystem: 'ext3'
+ device: 'ephemeral0'

+
+The default definition is used to make sure that the ephemeral storage is
+setup properly.
+
+"disk_setup": disk parititioning
+--------------------------------
+
+The disk_setup directive instructs Cloud-init to partition a disk. The format is:
+
+ disk_setup:
+ ephmeral0:
+ type: 'mbr'
+ layout: 'auto'
+ /dev/xvdh:
+ type: 'mbr'
+ layout:
+ - 33
+ - [33, 82]
+ - 33
+ overwrite: True
+
+The format is a list of dicts of dicts. The first value is the name of the
+device and the subsiquent values define how to create and layout the partition.
+
+The general format is:
+ disk_setup:
+ <DEVICE>:
+ type: 'mbr'
+ layout: <LAYOUT|BOOL>
+ overwrite: <BOOL>
+
+Where:
+ <DEVICE>: The name of the device. 'ephemeralX' and 'swap' are special
+ values which are specific to the cloud. For these devices
+ Cloud-init will look up what the real devices is and then
+ use it.
+
+ For other devices, the kernel device name is used. At this
+ time only simply kernel devices are supported, meaning
+ that device mapper and other targets may not work.
+
+ Note: At this time, there is no handling or setup of
+ device mapper targets.
+
+ type=<TYPE>: Currently the following are supported:
+ 'mbr': default and setups a MS-DOS partition table
+
+ Note: At this time only 'mbr' partition tables are allowed.
+ It is anticipated in the future that we'll have GPT as
+ option in the future, or even "RAID" to create a mdadm
+ RAID.
+
+ layout={...}: The device layout. This is a list of values, with the
+ percentage of disk that partition will take.
+ Valid options are:
+ [<SIZE>, [<SIZE>, <PART_TYPE]]
+
+ Where <SIZE> is the _percentage_ of the disk to use, while
+ <PART_TYPE> is the numerical value of the partition type.
+
+ The following setups two partitions, with the first
+ partition having a swap label, taking 1/3 of the disk space
+ and the remainder being used as the second partition.
+ /dev/xvdh':
+ type: 'mbr'
+ layout:
+ - [33,82]
+ - 66
+ overwrite: True
+
+ When layout is "true" it means single partition the entire
+ device.
+
+ When layout is "false" it means don't partition or ignore
+ existing partitioning.
+
+ If layout is set to "true" and overwrite is set to "false",
+ it will skip partitioning the device without a failure.
+
+ overwrite=<BOOL>: This describes whether to ride with saftey's on and
+ everything holstered.
+
+ 'false' is the default, which means that:
+ 1. The device will be checked for a partition table
+ 2. The device will be checked for a file system
+ 3. If either a partition of file system is found, then
+ the operation will be _skipped_.
+
+ 'true' is cowboy mode. There are no checks and things are
+ done blindly. USE with caution, you can do things you
+ really, really don't want to do.

+fs_setup: Setup the file system
+-------------------------------
+
+fs_setup describes the how the file systems are supposed to look.
+
+ fs_setup:
+ ephemeral0:
+ filesystem: 'ext3'
+ device: 'ephemeral0'
+ partition: 'auto'
+ mylabl2:
+ filesystem: 'ext4'
+ device: '/dev/xvda1'
+ special:
+ cmd: mkfs -t %(FILESYSTEM)s -L %(LABEL)s %(DEVICE)s
+ filesystem: 'btrfs'
+ device: '/dev/xvdh'
+
+The general format is:
+ fs_setup:
+ <LABEL>:
+ filesystem: <FS_TYPE>
+ device: <DEVICE>
+ partition: <PART_VALUE>
+ overwrite: <OVERWRITE>
+
+Where:
+ <LABEL>: The file system label to be used.
+
+ <FS_TYPE>: The file system type. It is assumed that the there
+ will be a "mkfs.<FS_TYPE>" that behaves likes "mkfs". On a standard
+ Ubuntu Cloud Image, this means that you have the option of ext{2,3,4},
+ and vfat by default.
+
+ <DEVICE>: The device name. Special names of 'ephemeralX' or 'swap'
+ are allowed and the actual device is acquired from the cloud datasource.
+ When using 'ephemeralX' (i.e. ephemeral0), make sure to leave the
+ label as 'ephemeralX' otherwise there may be issues with the mounting
+ of the ephemeral storage layer.
+
+ <PART_VALUE>: The valid options are:
+ "auto": auto is a special in the sense that you are telling cloud-init
+ not to care whether there is a partition or not. Auto will put the
+ first partition that does not contain a file system already. In
+ the absence of a partition table, it will put it directly on the
+ disk.
+
+ "none": Put the partition directly on the disk.
+
+ <NUM>: where NUM is the actual partition number.
+
+ <OVERWRITE>: Defines whether or not to overwrite any existing
+ filesystem.
+
+ "true": Indiscriminately destroy any pre-existing file system. Use at
+ your own peril.
+
+ "false": If an existing file system exists, skip the creation.
+
+ "force": Recreate the file system, even it already exists
+
+
+Behavior Caveat: The default behavior is to _check_ if the file system exists.
+ If a file system matches the specification, then the operation is a no-op.
+
+ For 'ephemeralX' or 'swap' labeled filesystems, the operation will be a
+ no-op if a file system of the same type is present, regardless of the label.
+ This is to accommodate Clouds like EC2 that present a blank file system with
+ out a label.
