Hi!
I'm trying to install Sqeeze on some servers booting them with PXE and
preseeding d-i. Unfortunately I can't force partman to do what I want.
I'd like to have something like this:
/dev/cciss/c1d0p1 - 2G for /boot
/dev/cciss/c1d0p2 - 50G as PV for VG servervg
/dev/cciss/c1d0p3 - rest of the disk as PV for VG vmvg (this can be
created later - after installation)
servervg/root - 20G LV for /
servervg/swap - swap
Partman section of my preseed file looks like that:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/cciss/c1d0
d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
2048 50 2048 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
51200 1000 51200 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ lvm } vg_name{ servervg } \
. \
20480 1000 20480 ext3 \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ servervg } lv_name{ root } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
100% 512 100% linux-swap \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ servervg } lv_name{ swap } \
method{ swap } format{ } \
.
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
But to my surprise it creates much bigger PV than I want:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/cciss/c1d0p1 * 2048 3999743 1998848 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/cciss/c1d0p2 3999744 2930120703 1463060480 8e Linux LVM
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
And LV root takes all available space:
~ # lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Log Copy% Convert
root servervg -wi-a- 1.36t
I'm using current stable netboot image with network card firmware
added to initrd.
Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Best regards,
Patryk
