Bug Description

At the moment, it's up to the users to set up partitions and format a thumbdrive as he wants.
Such script has been done for LT TI LAVA tests [1].

It will be nice to have an action to setup an USB thumbrive and avoid each users to write his own script.
Indeed, the users should still have the flexibility to partition/format as they want.

lava-command can let you specify commands which you want to run in the target in job file directly, you may use the following job to partition disks and format it.
{
            "command": "lava_command_run",
            "parameters": {
                "commands": [
                    "echo '1,16,L' | sfdisk -uM /dev/sda",
                    "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1"
                ]
            }

yeah, it sounds like "each users to write his own script".
I don't even need lava_command_run to do that today.
It isn't what I'm looking for.

Fathi, if we add that script as a part of the lava-test-shell API call (as `lava-usb-drive`), would it fulfill your needs with this? So you would do something like this in the shell commants of a test definition:

lava-usb-drive /dev/foo
mount /dev/foo1 /whatever
cd /whatever
...

??

yes, it will fulfill my needs. Make it a single line ;)
lava-usb-drive /dev/foo1 /whatever
