      User Stories:

      As a Fedora Workstation user, I want to be able to resize partitions from the existing installation, so that I can use the freed up space for the new installation.

      As a Fedora Workstation user, I want to be able to remove partitions from the existing installation, so that I can use the freed up space for the new installation.

      Description:

      From the upstream discussions we got requirements to be able to resize/remove partitions from the existing installation by the Web UI in a straightforward way. (No cockpit-storage) Reason for that:

      • Other installers supports that too.
      • It's not that rare use-case.
      • Without a cockpit-storage there is no easy way to do that.
      • We already have this functionality in the GTK UI so people are used to this.

      Acceptance criteria:

      • Guided partitioning needs to be extended to cover this path.
      • If possible we should be able to do resizing on simple partitioning.
      • We need to react somehow on BitLocker locked Windows partitions (for first version it could be even disable resize)
      • We need to be able to remove partitions.
      • This functionality should be covered by tests.
