[Bug 1307614] Re: MAAS sometimes attempts to install to USB flash drive

[Gavin Panella]

Something we want to add to MAAS is the idea of recommissioning, i.e.
when a node is released back to MAAS, it runs a cycle that does a bunch
of things to get the machine ready to go out the door again. For
example, reset BIOS settings, erase disks. Like commissioning, a MAAS
admin would be able to configure their own scripts to run.

With the existing commissioning stage and a new commissioning stage,
we'd have an opportunity to run a site-specific "find me the disk on
which to put the OS" script. This could set a pre-agreed disk label,
e.g. "OS" or "ROOT", that curtin could be modified to take notice of.

More flexible than that is for curtin to grow the capability to run a
site-specific "fine me the disk" script directly, but that would entail
more work in MAAS to support it.
