Description of problem: Currently Node does not complain if it is getting installed in an environment where i.e. the storage layout is wrong (i.e. a thin pool is missing) This RFE is about checking for the most important bits during installation: - Available thin pool - / on thin pool - /var is a separate volume
If this is going to meet 4.0 GA, it needs an exception/blocker status. Otherwise, please push to 4.1.
Bug tickets must have version flags set prior to targeting them to a release. Please ask maintainer to set the correct version flags and only then set the target milestone.
