Partition

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.
