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.
It appears one could use --image /dev/sdX and spawn multiple instances of systemd-repart, one for each block device, however they all will read the configs from /.../repart.d/*. I could then use --root /special-dir-for-sdX to feed different sets of configs to the different instances. However this feels a bit unnatural and may be repart 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.
I would love to hear opinions and suggestions on this.
