I'd like to be able to create a partition of a set size and number/position but not specifcy a mount point. This is to enable ChromeOS style setups where there are two root partitions, one active and one passive, and thus only one need be mounted at a time. 57329 1 eduard.bartosh 2015-12-17 10:54:58 +0000 If you don't want your partition to be mounted you shouldn't specify mountpoint in your .wks file. Please check if it works for you. 57334 2 joshuagloe 2015-12-17 11:09:19 +0000 Hi Ed, I was planning to update this report to that effect. That is I tried specifying a partition without a mountpoint and it seems to work. I think we can update the documentation to make this possibility clearer, i.e the dev manual states " The mntpoint is where the partition will be mounted and must be of one of the following forms: /path: For example, /, /usr, and /home swap: The partition will be used as swap space." https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#command-part-or-partition That section doesn't make it clear at all that the mntpoint is optional. I realise, rereading it this morning, that the built in help (wic help kickstart) *does* indicate that the partition is optional by surrounding that argument with <> — "part <mountpoint>" — but feel it would be useful to emphasise this in the prose too. 57335 3 eduard.bartosh 2015-12-17 11:14:17 +0000 Yep, that makes sense to me. Are you willing to do that? BTW <mountpoint> doesn't mean that mountpoint is optional, so it makes sense to use [<mountpoint>] and explicitly mention in the help and documentation that this parameter is optional and what would happen if it's not used. 57340 4 joshuagloe 2015-12-17 12:03:46 +0000 (In reply to comment #3) > Yep, that makes sense to me.
