Tea partition generator

this is a json auto generator & backend autopartitioning for tealinux installer, here what you should know

• ./src/dual_boot_blockdev.rs contains various function and helper that will called after user click next on partitioning page (only for dualboot section).
• ./src/single_boot_blockdev.rs same as dualboot, but this is will overwrite entire disk.
• ./src/os.rs contains various helper functions
• ./src/mkpart.rs a set of helper function that execute parted command & partition utility
• ./src/mounting.rs helper that help you mount the partition, note: you must mount root first then /boot, not vice versa.
• ./src/core.rs, is a helper function collection
• ./src/parted_parser.rs, is a machine parted reader.
• ./src/dual_boot_efi_mount.rs, this file find & locate original EFI partition inside your disk & mount it.

tunning

see config.rs

• MINIMUM_DISK_SIZE: this is a minimum required disks for installer to be working correctly.

todo/fix

• fixme: remove all dangerous unwrap() in future (help need)
• todo: add custom partition install, example: user can select /dev/sda8 instead.
• todo: remove autogenerated_mode
• fixme: bug during installation, when some partition fs is unknown
• add support for NVME

Notes

• please uncomment this section, os-prober related. this section used as testing. link
• ./bin directory is a testing folder, use sudo -E cargo run --bin <program_name>
• if you searching about blueprint.rs struct signature conversion, the file is available here.

notes: sometimes we may remove older uefi vars in order to reset bootloader configuration, but this can be avoided by entering EFI shell, and remove the bootloader using bcfg boot dump and bcfg boot rm X
