Hello everyone,
disk_config and setup-storage both have the option to preserve "lazy", but the
implementation differs. (My explanation is simplified.)
disk_config:
You want to preserve a partition then the logic is:
- partition has the same size, preserve it (don't run mkfs)
or
- partition doesn't have the same size, so you can't preserve it. Delete the
existing partition, run mkfs and move on.
setup-storage:
You want to preserve a partition then the logic is:
- partition has the same size, preserve it (don't run mkfs)
or
- partition doesn't have the same size, so you can't preserve it. Stop here, so
you don't destroy data.
I really understand, why setup-storage prefers the safe way, but for us the old
implementation was much better.
Could it be possible to extend setup-storage with an preserve-lazy-unsafe
option, that destroys data? Or does anyone already have a solution for this?
Best regards,
Manuel Hachtkemper
