Yes, that's why we have rewritten the whole proposal code in SLE15 to accommodate use cases like yours. Since we didn't dare to touch the SLE12 code too much, when a similar request was done for CaaSP in SLE12-SP3, we introduced a hack that allows to reuse the home partition for another purpose during the proposal. Check it at: https://github.com/yast/skelcd-control-CAASP/blob/SLE-12-SP3/control/control.CAASP.xml#L137-L146 Using those home_path and home_fs parameters, you can hijack the home partition to be something different. If you need that ext4 partition IN ADDITION to /home. Then you are out of luck. Cheers.
