part-scheme

Defines a string that references a template for partitioning during installation.

This string contains the name of a template that holds the OS installer partitioning commands for use during installation.

The string will be expanded into this template name:

part-scheme-<string>.tmpl

e.g. a value of softraid would expand to the template name part-scheme-softraid.tmpl

Each Operating System utilizes different format network configuration files (eg kickstart, preseed, yaml, or json) types. The specified partitioning scheme must follow the OS installers formatting guidelines. In particular, formatting constraints based on the type must be followed exactly (eg, yaml space indentation, json comma separation, etc.).

If no value is defined, the Template named part-scheme-default.tmpl will be selected. This Template will output the correct basic Partitioning Scheme for each Linux Distro based on the unattended/answerfile format type. For example, Kickstart format for Redhat distros, Preseed for Debian and Ubuntu version (up to and including 18.04), AutoYast XML format for SuSe, etc.
