configuration file?
I'm not sure about the status.
First, you only use preserve_always for a certain partition. But you
can also define preserve_always:all in the disk_config line.
This may skip the steps to recreate each partition.
Then you can use always_format for a partition, for which a new
filesystem should be created.
Maybe this pworks as you expect.
Some more infos:
You can already use the partuuid or partlabel for the fstabkey, so we
already know how to read the UUIDs.
But in the code, I see nothing that saves or set a UUID of the disk or
of a partition.
Did you already tried the new disk_config format for GPT partitions?
Instead of primary......
you can say
p=<partlablename> ......
for e.g.
p=boot /boot/efi ..........
p=data /data .......
You may write two hooks, one that saves all uuids and the other that
restores the old uuid after setup-storage was called.
