[opensuse-autoinstall] Set starting block of first partition
From what I can see, the partition starts on block 63 on systems installed with autoyast. I can't see any options for this in the
Hello fellow autoyast'ers, I have a questions that I can't seem to find the answer for in the autoyast documentation. The question is quite simple: I want the first partition on each disk to start on block 64 or preferably block 16384. Is there anyway to accomplish this using autoyast? partition-section of autoyast...

Of course I mean _sectors_, not blocks! :) On Mon, Nov 21, 2011 at 2:41 PM, Alexander Holte-Davidsen <alexander.davidsen@gmail.com> wrote:

not with the <partitioning> section in the XML file You can try to use a pre-script to create at least the first partition on your own and then let autoyast reuse that partition (<create ...>false</create>) I did not try that put I'd be interested in the results. I already looked at how to implement it, so you can specify the start cylinder but I have no code yet.
