There is actually a Todo somewhere as a comment in my Playbook - but I'm not sure that the GPDB Playbook is the right place. This is something which needs to be done when you configure the host, or even earlier: when you setup the host. Once the partitions are created and the OS is installed, it's too late to change that.

Fair enough - I'm not too sure how your demarcations are drawn with this playbook, but to be clear, this is disk partitioning + xfs formatting for GPDB data disks/dirs only, not the OS itself.

Is your use case that you have a partition for the OS, and another one for the database?
