Disk size of rhel family boxes #41

Open alan-cugler opened 6 years ago

alan-cugler commented 6 years ago

Currently the rhel OS either refuse to use more than 20gb of space in partitioning, or the boxes are using dynamic partitioning (they get bigger towards the limit set as needed).

The boxes need to use all disk space in partitioning given to them and reflect this when checking box partition sizes.

These are the kickstart documentation for Fedora 26 & 27. They are the same, though Fedora 25 docs seem to have been archived. Recalling working on this problem Fedora 25's docs on kickstart were the same as well.

For centos 7 the docs are different and potentially the partitioning options:

Originally @verhulstm wanted to have the partitioning fix be in a later re-configuration file. I am strongly against this because its more technical debt, especially since the kickstart preseed files have the ability to fix this problem.

I'm not sure what's meant by 'later re-configuration file' but fixing this via the preseeds makes sense to me if we can.
