features:
- Add new block device handling.
Unify and generalize the creation and usage of
block device. This release includes setting up the general
infrastructure and setting up loop device
issues:
- Because the implementation of the new block device layer is not
complete, some features which are already implemented cannot be
used because of limitations of the current environment.
deprecations:
- The current way of handling block devices is deprecated. The
existing block device phase will be called for a limited time. If
this phase delivers a result, this is used; if there is no result,
the new way of block device handling is used.
Please note that the old way of block device handling has some
major limitations such as that it is only possible to use one
block device.
- The element 'partitioning-sfdisk' is deprecated. The new
implementation will create the partition tables based on a tool
independent description.
