Hello Yesuraj,
so far there are just the `avocado.utils.partition` and
`avocado.utils.lv_utils` modules and they don't really provide a way to create
partitions. Anyway it should not be that hard to cook something up,
contributions are welcome. Usually people just go with custom
`process.run("fdisk ...")` but well defined API could simplify analyzing test
failures.
