Thinking about it, I would propose to drop the WebYaST REST API as it
is currently.
It is too low-level and should be replaced by a richer / more
functional approach. It exposes YaSTs SCR layer, while it should
expose the YaST 'module' layer.
The SCR layer handles 'disks', 'shell commands' and 'config files'.
Installing a new disk requires detection ('disk'), partitioning
('shell'), formatting ('shell'), mount point creation ('shell'),
mounting ('shell') and editing the fstab ('config').
On the module layer, installing a new disk would be a single REST call.
The example might not be typical, but you get the idea.
