Hi all, I'm trying to get the following (part of my) recipe to work: d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition \ select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM d-i partman-auto/method string lvm d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true d-i partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string dom0 d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ dom0 :: \ 700 1500 2000 ext3 \ $primary{ } $bootable{ } \ $lvmignore{ } \ method{ format } format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ / } \ . \ 10000 10000 10000 lvm \ method{ lvm } \ . \ 1000 1500 2000 ext3 \ method{ format } format{ } \ $lvmok{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /home } \ . \ 500 750 1000 ext3 \ method{ format } format{ } \ $lvmok{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /tmp } \ . \ 1000 5000 7000 ext3 \ method{ format } format{ } \ $lvmok{ } \ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \ mountpoint{ /var } \ . \ 1000 10000 1000000000 ext3 \ method{ keep } \ $lvmignore{ } \ . \ 64 512 1024 linux-swap \ method{ swap } format{ } \ $lvmok{ } \ . d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select dom0 d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman/choose_partition \ select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk d-i partman/confirm boolean true
For the most part this is directly from the example. Installation goes all the way to loading the partitioner, which fails with: "Failed to process the preconfiguration file The installer failed to process the preconfiguration file from http://192.168.1.151/d-i/etch/./preseed.cfg. The file may be corrupt." I'm at a loss, what am I doing wrong here? I'm trying to create one LVM partition, named "dom0", of 10G. And a smallish /, not in LVM. The rest of the disc will be used for the domU LVM VG, but I think I need to do that from a script. Any help is appreciated. Google doesn't seem to know about any examples or howtos regarding autopartitioning with partman-auto-lvm :( -- Gegroet, Tim
