Hm, I have a pretty similiar recipe with raid and this works..raid & lvm. I just tested it again to be really sure. There is no exabyte-recipe result. > >>From "partman-auto-recipe.txt": > > 6.

See my reply to Raf Czlonka with the "real" recipe. I thought that 100MB would tell me something about the error, something quicker/easier than proving it with 9 partitions/elements for the formula. At this time of the installation, no information about the wanted packages are available and even if 100MB are not enough for a base system, it has *nothing* to do with this calculation.
