Hello,

I have a use case where a complete OS installation spans multiple block
devices. (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc..) As such, I'm looking to create
partitions across multiple devices rather than just a single block device
that we booted from.

It appears one could use --image /dev/sdX and spawn multiple instances of
systemd-repart, one for each block device, however they all will read the
configs from /.../repart.d/*. I could then use --root /special-dir-for-sdX
to feed different sets of configs to the different instances. However this
feels a bit unnatural and may be repart is not intended for this use case.
Something like --directory to specify config directory (akin to journalctl
which takes both --root and --directory) could help reduce boilerplate file
hierarchy. Or maybe something more declarative in the config files such as
BlockDevice=/dev/sdX.

I would love to hear opinions and suggestions on this.

Sincerely,
Mehmet Akbulut
