Hello list,
I was wondering if anybody has come up with, or if there exists, a
method or script(s) to automate the creation of the config files in the
disk_config/ directory.
What exactly do you want the auto-generation script to do, or how can an
auto-generation program know what kind of disk config you need?

You don't need a disk config file for each class, only for each
_different_ disk config you need - if all your system should have the
same disk setup, make a generic class for the disk config and specify
the more specific things(software install, etc.) with different classes.

As said above, it's not clear to me how such a program should work -
should it try to "guess" what type of disk config you want for each
system, should it generate random disk configs, or do you mean to create
a disk_config from an existing, running system?
