Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: partman-base
I've spent weeks working with preseed LVM partitioning. I've come to the
conclusion that there is little relationship between the sizes in a recipe and
the actual allocations. The first couple of partitions in a recipe are OK, but
then they wildly diverge.
I've made some test cases, that include the preseed files, the partman logs and
the resultant lvs output.
In the first case, partman.ok1, the last partition is dropped
completely. I removed it from the 2nd and 4rd test cases to simplify the
test case.
I expected partman would vary the partition size.
The following attachment is a tgz containing:
partman.ok1
partman.ok2
partman.ok3
These are all variants of the LVM partition in the partman recipe preseed
files, the parman logs, and lvs output.
The requested sizes vary by a factor of 10 but the resultant partitions barely
change at all.
This is from jaunty, but I verified the same behavior with karmic alpha
5 as well.
The partman packages are the default ones provided on the alternate
install CD.
