[Guest][Ubuntu-22.04][Cloud-Init] - Storage customization not working

[NileshChandekar]

• Trying to configure the custom layout using user-data [cloud-init]

  storage:
    layout:
      name: lvm
      sizing-policy: largest
    config:
      - type: partition
        id: boot-partition
        device: root-disk
        size: 10%
      - type: partition
        id: root-partition
        size: 10G
      - type: partition
        id: data-partition
        device: root-disk
        size: -1

• But its not working.

Expectation:

Should create

/home
/var

other than
/ and /boot

At the risk of sounding daft... I don't see a "device" called out here:

      - type: partition
        id: root-partition
        size: 10G

This is officially not supported yet. As such you are on your own so far. At the moment my capacity does not allow me to push forward this feature.
