We strongly recommend to use GPT partitioned disk devices. For grub2 to be able to boot from such a device on BIOS systems a small BIOS Boot partition (type: 0x107, 263) is required to hold the second se of the bootloader. 8 MB is sufficient for this purpose.
We recommend that you create a 2 GB swap partition next and format the remainder of the first disk with btrfs with default subvolume handling and mounted at /. On the second disk we recommend to create a single LVM volume group data with a single logical volume data formatted with xfs and mounted at /data. The recommended disk partitioning is summarized in the following table.

Underneath /data the following directories need to be created to accommodate the CIF:
autoyast scripts, configuration files, control file and class files used by the solution
boot_cd_build working directory for Custom Boot ISO
install directory for the mount-points for the installation sources
isos directory for the installation sources and the AutoYaST boot ISO
