Hello,


we use the same custom installation media on several hardware, so I=20
adopt the profile with xml snipplets according to the hardware, mainly=20
the partitioning.

If there are 2 harddisks found, I add a snipplet for the second disk.

Now, we changed the partitioning. If there is a second disk, we=20
configure a lvm with the last partition of the first disk and the second=20
disk. So I have to change the last partition on the first disk, the=20
second disk and create a lvm over them.

We use Leap 15.2


Regards


Daniel
