# 20210608 - ignition partitioning questions


- Should you be able to create/disk/mount under /home ?
- missing 1st partition on aarch64
    - means ignition added partiions get created as /dev/sda1
- making a new partition should or shouldn't be able to have the same label as another partition?
    - basically I ended up creating new `root` partitions when I wasn't expecting to
- what's the best way to set the root partition to the size you want it to be?
- what's the best way to make sure a data partition persists across installs?
    - feeding the same ignition config enough?
    - do I need to pass --partition save arguments to coreos-installer
