Hi Jens,

do you have particular partition setup scenario at hand ?
I am asking, since in general we are trying to address
common use cases and we would like to make sure we are
not missing the important ones.

I agree that there could be marginal cases which are
likely not to be addressed, as they are not worth the
potential effort (80/20 principle).

That said, at this point there doesn't seem to be viable
way to obtain the information about default target disk
without running the installer. The algorithm itself is
straightforward, but it is currently integral part of AI
engine and processes internal data structures filled in
by the Orchestrator with the information collected by
Target Discovery service.

Is this something which you would need to solve immediately
or for a longer term ?

If latter is the case, please feel free to take a look at Sarah's
CUD proposal, I think it could give you some hints how things are
to be designed, especially dry-run and checkpointing capabilities
might be potential points of interests.

Thank you,
Jan
