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?
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 partition-section of autoyast...
Disk /dev/sda: 53.7 GB, 53687091200 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 6527 cylinders, total 104857600 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0008dbe5
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 63 273104 136521 83 Linux
Thanks,
Alexander Holte-Davidsen
Of course I mean _sectors_, not blocks! :)

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. Maybe for 12.2
