      2024-04-02: Waiting on Sabbir to confirm details. Probably need to convert this to a story as diskPartition section will be deprecated.
      2024-03-25: Reached out to Sabbir for clarification.

      Description of problem:

      During OCP installation, we provide a method to create disk partition using siteconfig, which seems to be only applicable for creating a partition for image registry but does not support of creation partition for other cases. The other problem is, user can't configure other parameters that ignition supports, therefore the provided method is very rigid.
          

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.12, 4.13, 4.14
          

      How reproducible:

      QE reproduced that partition creation was possible but oftentimes the partition wasn't mounted properly without modifying other parameters. [QE OCP bug link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-22692]
          

      Steps to Reproduce:

          1.
          2.
          3.
          

      Actual results:

      QE couldn't create disk partition properly.
          

      Expected results:

       User should be able to create disk partition at install time.
          

      Upstream doc update :

       We updated the upstream documentation at TALM repo to reflect the change. Instead of using nodes.diskParition, we recommend using nodes.ignitionConfigOverride. Upstream doc link:  https://github.com/openshift-kni/cluster-group-upgrades-operator/tree/main/docs/backup-recovery#create-recovery-partition
          

      Additional info:
      We provide information of disk partition creation in 2 segments:
