+Cockpit Storage in Anaconda Mode
+================================
+
+Anaconda (the OS Installer) can open the Cockpit "storaged" page for
+advanced setup of the target storage devices. When this is done,
+storaged is in a special "Anaconda mode" and behaves significantly
+different.
+
+In essence, the storaged page restricts itself to working with the
+target environment. It will hide the real root filesystem (on the USB
+stick that the Live environment was booted from, say), but let the
+user create a "fake" root filesystem on some block device.
+
+Entering Anaconda mode
+----------------------
+
+The "storaged" page is put into Anaconda mode by storing a
+"cockpit_anaconda" item in its `window.localStorage`.  The value
+should be a JSON encoded object, the details of which are explained
+below.
+
+Since both Anaconda and the storaged page are served from the same
+origin, Anaconda can just execute something like this:
+
+```
+    window.localStorage.setItem("cockpit_anaconda",
+                                JSON.stringify({
+                                    "mount_point_prefix": "/sysroot",
+                                    "ignore_devices": [ "/dev/sr0", "/dev/loop0" ]
+                                }));
+    window.open("/cockpit/@localhost/storage/index.html", "storage-tab");
+```
+
+Ignoring storage devices
+------------------------
+
+Anaconda needs to tell Cockpit which devices can not be used to
+install the OS on. This is done with the "ignore_devices" entry, which
+is a array of strings.
+
+```
+{
+  "ignore_devices": [ "/dev/sda" ]
+}
+```
+
+Entries in that array can contain pathname of block devices, names of
+LVM2 volume groups, and names of Stratis pools.
+
+Mount point prefix
+------------------
+
+Cockpit can be put into a kind of "chroot" environment by giving it a
+mount point prefix like so:
+
+```
+{
+  "mount_point_prefix": "/sysroot"
+}
+```
+
+This works at the UI level: filesystems that have mount points outside
+of "/sysroot" are hidden from the user, and when letting the user work
+with mount points below "/sysroot", the "/sysroot" prefix is
+omitted. So when the user says to create a filesystem on "/var", they
+are actually creating one on "/sysroot/var".
+
+However, Cockpit (via UDisks2) will still write the new mount point
+configuration into the real /etc/fstab (_not_ /sysroot/etc/fstab).
+
+In addition to that, Cockpit will also store the mount points in the
+`"cockpit_mount_points"` item in `window.localStorage`, as a JSON
+encoded object, for the benefit of Anaconda.
+
+This is a simple map from mount point to block device, like
+
+```
+{
+  "/boot": "/dev/vda1",
+  "/": "/dev/vda2"
+}
+```
+
+The mount points do not include the mount point prefix.
