Hi Ancor,   Again I started working on this partitioning for OES.   For home partition we have tags in control.xml           true         5GB   based on this we create a separte /home partition, thought of adding a new tag for ext4 separate partition in conrrol.xml and extend the code of home partition or copy and paste the home partition and change it for ext4 partition.   Do you feel it will work :), is there any other method.   Looks like the code is too complex :).

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... 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. PS.- Again, as with your original question, CCing yast-devel so you have higher chances of getting a useful answer.

Regards, Suresh

Products based on SLE15 will have a huge  flexibility defining which partitions should be proposed by the  installer[1]. But products based on SLE12SPX are limited to the usual  separate /home.    CCing yast-devel ML in case somebody can think on a way to achieve what  you want in a system without storage-ng.    Cheers.    [1]  https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/blob/master/doc/old_and_new_proposal...
