The tools are pretty much based around ddiskit and a bunch of shell
scripts. We've not got around to actually releasing anything as yet
though. There are plans to change that situation in the near future.

The one issue that still needs working on is that we need to work out a
sane mechanism to signal the package manager on the system about drives
that were installed by anaconda at system provisioning time, in order to
have the package manager then track the right place for the right
updates as they become available.
