This cookbook is a utility cookbook designed to make working with diskpart easier. It implements a LWRP for disk and provision. This cookbook makes one LARGE assumption that must be accounted for if it is not true. That assumption is that you have 1 volume/partition per physical disk. I would argue you always want this, but alas this is the assumption foisted upon you by me!
When cloning this repository, clone into a directory named "diskpart" to have the provider names match those listed below.
ex: git clone https://github.com/moserke/diskpart-cookbook.git diskpart
0.1.0 - This is at 0.1.0 currently because there is still extensive testing to be done against various versions of windows.
This only supports windows and depends on the windows cookbook from opscode. This relies heavily on RegEx parsing from the windows diskpart command.
A sleep was introduced into each of the actions because there are times with diskpart commands you need to give the OS a chance to catch up before moving to the next command. A great example of this is when you have a disk that is already partitioned and formatted but is offline. When bringing that disk online you must stall for a few seconds so the OS can see the partition. If you check immediately for a partition on that disk you will be told there is not one and then your create partition will fail.
