~~Fixed in 0171288~~, it will not create a /home partition anymore (we don't store anything in there anyway), but you will need to replace the nodes one by one (just added the document in 056e906).

Before:

NAME               MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                  8:0    0 119.2G  0 disk
├─sda1               8:1    0   600M  0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2               8:2    0     1G  0 part /boot
└─sda3               8:3    0 117.7G  0 part
  ├─rl_metal0-root 253:0    0    70G  0 lvm  /
  ├─rl_metal0-swap 253:1    0   7.9G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
  └─rl_metal0-home 253:2    0  39.8G  0 lvm  /home

After:

NAME               MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda                  8:0    0 119.2G  0 disk
├─sda1               8:1    0   600M  0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2               8:2    0     1G  0 part /boot
└─sda3               8:3    0 117.7G  0 part
  ├─rl_metal3-root 253:0    0    70G  0 lvm  /
  └─rl_metal3-swap 253:1    0   7.9G  0 lvm  [SWAP]

Hmmm just realized the root partition is still 70GB even without the /home partition, I'll need to check that.

We'll need something more advance like this https://dark.ca/2009/08/03/complex-partitioning-in-kickstart/

However I'm thinking of switching to Rook Ceph for better performance and use a separate partition for data.

Without the /home partition it is much easier to grow root:

lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/<vg name>/root
xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/<vg name>-root

That feels like something that can be automated.

Fully fixed in bce3291:

Remove LVM
Create boot (0.5GiB) and root (remaining) partitions manually instead of using automatic partitioning

root@all (4)[f:5]$ lsblk
