[systemd-devel] systemd-repart with multiple block devices

[Mehmet Akbulut]

Hello,

I have a use case where a complete OS installation spans multiple block
devices. (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc..) As such, I'm looking to create
partitions across multiple devices rather than just a single block device
that we booted from.

Right now it looks like I need to spawn multiple instances of
systemd-repart with --image /dev/sdX --root
/special-dir-for-sdX-which-contains-etc-repartd. However this feels a bit
unnatural and it might be that is not intended for this use case. Something
like --directory to specify config directory (akin to journalctl which
takes both --root and --directory) could help reduce boilerplate file
hierarchy. Or maybe something more declarative in the config files such as
BlockDevice=/dev/sdX so the configs only apply to specific devices.

I would love to hear opinions and suggestions on this.

Sincerely,
Mehmet Akbulut
