"instalar" script: home partition support

[ghost]

The Reciclanet version of "instalar" script does have support for 3 partitions / mount points: root, swap and home. It would be great to finish this capability too in eReuse's fork.

Some considerations:

• There is a variable (HD_ROOT) here that you can use to say that you need 2 or 3 partitions (values 'FILL' or 'amount' un MiBs): https://github.com/eReuse/SCRIPTS/blob/e552dea6f302cd81b542d5fecaba0d22c1aa4bc0/instalar#L18
• When the scripts tries to set the home partition depending on the value of HD_ROOT, right now it does not dump home.fsa image, but the same image for root partition: https://github.com/eReuse/SCRIPTS/blob/e552dea6f302cd81b542d5fecaba0d22c1aa4bc0/instalar#L162

Our proposal is to create manually 2 FSA files: my_image_root.fsa and my_image_home.fsa, and set instalar to try to restore them if HD_ROOT is other than 'FILL'. The main point here would be to agree a standard way to name those files (_root.fsa and _home.fsa).

Also to set HD_ROOT from eReuse's config.ini file we suggest 2 more changes:

• Add HD_ROOT to config.ini: this way 2/3 partitions availability can be customizable.
• Change the Workbench to read the value from config.ini, maybe here?: https://github.com/eReuse/workbench/blob/05cdbf88d6c3d90e6654fc54fe687a40da4cb499/ereuse_workbench/workbench.py#L213 (right now seems to be hardcoded).

Interesting. Let us continue discussion in taiga

We have workarounded the issue by now modifying donator.py slightly, and also config.ini (we are talking about 8.01beta release): we understand that this issue is probably outdated as we see lots of changes out there :) Soooo, I'm closing it ;)
