The partition option takes a set of key value entries separated by colons. The key values are separated by equal signs. The valid keys are:
| Key | Value | Partition Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
type |
fs, file |
The type of the partition. | |
name |
string | The name of the partition. | |
gpt-type |
string (UUID) | GPT type of the partition. | |
file |
string (path) | file |
Path to a file that will be written into the partition as raw data. |
fs-type |
fat32 |
fs |
Filesystem type of the FS partition. |
fs-size |
number (mb) | fs |
Size of the FS partition in mb. |
fs-root |
string (path) | fs |
Path to a directory that will be copied in as the root of the FS partition. |
fs-files |
string (see description) | fs |
List of files or directories that will be copied into the FS partition. Paths in the string are separated by a #. An explicit destination can be defined by adding an @ followed by a path after the source path. If no explicit destination has been defined the destination will be the basename of the source path at the root of the filesystem. |
