Hello,
We are looking to migrate to Satellite 6 or/and The Foreman and need to
replace our current kickstart mechanism.
Typically we run scripts are part of %pre, or %post the main one being a
Python script which determines the dynamic partition layout.
This is pulled from a web server using wget, executed and then the output
%include(d). The package list is determined in the same way.
The examples I have seen from searching don't have the granularity we need.
If the instance has a small disk we don't include some partitions,
some disks will be /dev/sda, some /dev/vda and so on. The Python script
works all this out.
How would I perform the same with Foreman based provisioning ?
Any ideas gratefully received.

Paul
You can specify dynamic disk partitioning in the partition table.

Thanks, I am guessing I can put the wget <python-script> ; chmod +x ; <exec
python-script> type stuff in there to output to /tmp/diskpart.cfg in there
as it runs as bourne script as has a 4096 (or whatever it is) character
limit ?

I think the intent is to put the actual script in Foreman (with #Dynamic as
the first line) and avoid the wget altogether.
Your way might work, too, but I've never tried
