Issue with Custrom Storage Configuration in MAAS: "Cannot Place Filesystem on the Boot Disk" Error

Commission machines

MAAS is built to manage machines, including the operating systems on those machines. Enlistment and commissioning are features that make it easier to start managing a machine – as long as that machine has been configured to netboot. Enlistment enables users to simply connect a machine, configure the firmware properly, and power it on so that MAAS can find it and add it. Enlistment happens when MAAS starts; it reaches out on connected subnets to locate any nodes – that is, devices and machines –…

It seems that the OS running at the commissioning stage is an ephemeral system based on the Squashfs (read-only filesystem).

If you wanna customise the storage layout, you can do it at the Web GUI under the “Storage” tab before deployment.
