I've a system which needs a small (say 5 megs) boot partition at the beginning of the disk (ext2 revision 0). I looed at partman-auto yesterday to see how I can tell it to do the right thing. Ideally, I'd just like to use the existing recipes (atomic and home), but add a boot partition at the beginning. Each recipe is one file, so I could either a) overwrite the recipe with my own or b) modify the file and add the boot partition at the beginning. Both don't strike me as particularly beautiful. I was wondering if it would be possible to put each recipe into a directory which files for each partition, i.e. something like:
recipes/ atomic/ 003_root 007_swap Then I could simply add a recipes/atomic/001_boot file with my partition in it. Is this a good idea, and can this be done? Also, partman-auto hardcodes many things, for example: perform_recipe: ext2|ext3|linux-swap|fat16|fat32) recipes.sh: ext2|ext3|xfs|reiserfs|linux-swap|fat16|fat32) Shouldn't this be gathered on the fly? Finally, I also looked at partman-palo... -palo is not considered in -auto at all, so I guess people using automatic partitions on HPPA will end up with a partition table that -palo will complain about. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
