Problem
Currently Agama honors LIBSTORAGE_MULTIPATH_AUTOSTART, unconditionally activating multipath if that boot argument is used, even if libstorage-ng does not detect a multipath setup.
If that argument is not provided Agama raises a question if a multipath setup is detected in the system. And the user needs to answer that question.
That leaves the users of unattended installations with two mechanisms to activate multipath:
The second option is possible for unattended installations but kind of cumbersome compared to the AutoYaST possibility of simply writing
<start_multipath>true</start_multipath>at the profile.Solution
This pull request adds a new section to the JSON Agama configuration (a.k.a. profile) to specify whether multipath should be started during installation. Removing the dependency on a boot argument or a separate configuration for answers.
