""" Disk Setup ---------- **Summary:** configure partitions and filesystems This module is able to configure simple partition tables and filesystems. .. note:: for more detail about configuration options for disk setup, see the disk setup example For convenience, aliases can be specified for disks using the ``device_aliases`` config key, which takes a dictionary of alias: path mappings. There are automatic aliases for ``swap`` and ``ephemeral``, where ``swap`` will always refer to the active swap partition and ``ephemeral`` will refer to the block device of the ephemeral image. Disk partitioning is done using the ``disk_setup`` directive. This config directive accepts a dictionary where each key is either a path to a block device or an alias specified in ``device_aliases``, and each value is the configuration options for the device. The ``table_type`` option specifies the partition table type, either ``mbr`` or ``gpt``. The ``layout`` option specifies how partitions on the device are to be arranged. If ``layout`` is set to ``true``, a single partition using all the space on the device will be created. If set to ``false``, no partitions will be created. Partitions can be specified by providing a list to ``layout``, where each entry in the list is either a size or a list containing a size and the numerical value for a partition type. The size for partitions is specified in **percentage** of disk space, not in bytes (e.g. a size of 33 would take up 1/3 of the disk space). The ``overwrite`` option controls whether this module tries to be safe about writing partition talbes or not. If ``overwrite: false`` is set, the device will be checked for a partition table and for a file system and if either is found, the operation will be skipped. If ``overwrite: true`` is set, no checks will be performed. .. note:: Using ``overwrite: true`` is dangerous and can lead to data loss, so double check that the correct device has been specified if using this option. File system configuration is done using the ``fs_setup`` directive. This config directive accepts a list of filesystem configs. The device to create the filesystem on may be specified either as a path or as an alias in the format ``.`` where ```` denotes the partition number on the device. The partition can also be specified by setting ``partition`` to the desired partition number. The ``partition`` option may also be set to ``auto``, in which this module will search for the existance of a filesystem matching the ``label``, ``type`` and ``device`` of the ``fs_setup`` entry and will skip creating the filesystem if one is found. The ``partition`` option may also be set to ``any``, in which case any file system that matches ``type`` and ``device`` will cause this module to skip filesystem creation for the ``fs_setup`` entry, regardless of ``label`` matching or not. To write a filesystem directly to a device, use ``partition: none``. A label can be specified for the filesystem using ``label``, and the filesystem type can be specified using ``filesystem``. .. note:: If specifying device using the ``.`` format, the value of ``partition`` will be overwritten. .. note:: Using ``overwrite: true`` for filesystems is dangerous and can lead to data loss, so double check the entry in ``fs_setup``. **Internal name:** ``cc_disk_setup`` **Module frequency:** per instance **Supported distros:** all **Config keys**:: device_aliases: : disk_setup: : table_type: <'mbr'/'gpt'> layout: - [33,82] - 66 overwrite: fs_setup: - label:
