Hi,
I've got a problem preseeding the partitioning for a debian installation.
I've got 2 existing partitions that i want to keep and about 130gb
free space that i want to partition using partman-auto/expert_recipe to have
- one primary "/boot" partition and
- the rest in a logical partition. the logical partition should be used as pv
for a LVM volume group. inside that vg i want logical volumes for
- "/" root (10gb)
- swap (4096mb)
- "/home" (30gb)
- freespace (to be used later)
since the partman-auto doesn't like to leave space unused i added
a logical volume at the end to use up the free space.
I am using this recipie:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-lvm-root-home-spare :: \
512 512 512 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
100 1000000 1000000000 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ lvm } \
use_filesystem{ } \
format{ } \
vg_name{ vg00 } \
. \
4096 4096 4096 linux-swap \
lvm_ok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ swap } \
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
10000 10000 10000 ext3 \
lvm_ok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ root } \
method{ format } format{ } \
label{ root } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
30000 30000 30000 ext3 \
lvm_ok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ home } \
method{ format } format{ } \
label{ home } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /home } \
. \
100 10000 10000000 ext3 \
lvm_ok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ removeme } \
method{ keep } \

These options are not supported with Beta2 images, only with daily built
images (and with RC1 when it is released).
Cheers,

Just tried with daily build from 2008-10-13. Same result: An lvm
partition is created but not used.
I have a complete preseed.cfg to play with if anybody is interesed.
It will (hopefully) stop before changing any of your partitions.
Anybody feeling brave today? :-)

That should be "$lvmok{ }". Same goes for other partitions.

You are right about that. Unfortunately it doesn't change a thing.
I still get lots of separate logical partitions instead of logical
volumes.
Here's the (corrected) recipe that i use:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-lvm-root-home-spare :: \
512 512 512 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
100 1000000 1000000000 ext3 \
method{ lvm } \
use_filesystem{ } \
format{ } \
vg_name{ vg00 } \
. \
4096 4096 4096 linux-swap \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ swap } \
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
10000 10000 10000 ext3 \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ root } \
method{ format } format{ } \
label{ root } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
30000 30000 30000 ext3 \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ home } \
method{ format } format{ } \
label{ home } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /home } \
. \
100 10000 10000000 ext3 \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ removeme } \
method{ keep } \
