Defining partitions and sizes with LVM doesn’t translate very well to the “block” environments like AWS

    • sst_image_builder

      Manually partitioning an AWS in Image Builder can cause confusion and user pain when the image partitions are intended to be expanded past the initial partition sizing.

      The result is a situation an image that used LVM  cannot use cloud init  to extend the  volumes though it is implied in the cli.

      Suggestion - For any block volume environment, if a User selects custom partitioning - warn them of the difficulty with extending after the fact and suggest using automatic.
