Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to use a preseed file to automate a partitionning. I noticed that
my recipe was silently ignored by the installer.
AFAIK this occurs each time I try to specify more than 6 logical volumes (tried
with differents specification, but can only reproduce with 6+ volumes, no matter
what the volume are).
You will find attached, a preseed.cfg file. To reproduce the issue, try an
automated install with 6 volumes, it will be ok, add one, the recipe will be
silently ignored.
Some general suggestions:
- Log to syslog the selection of the recipe and the failure to apply / select
one. Notice that increasing the debug level with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 on kernel
parameter did not help to pinpoint the issue (=recipe still ignored silently).
- Implement a partman/post_command hook: if for some reason partitionning is too
difficult or compromised with partman-auto, an user could still work around
easily, once the modules are initialized and initial work is done.
Regards.
