Package: partman Severity: normal
After reading over all the documentation and examples I can find and running numerous test installs, it does not seem to be possible to create an expert-recipe for use in a preseed file which only partitions a portion of my disk. For example, I want to create a 1G / partition, a 256MB swap and leave the rest of the disk unpartitioned for later use. I used the following recipe which, from my reading of the docs, should do that: d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string linuxcoe-custom :: 1000 10000 1000 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } . 256 200 256 linux-swap $primary{ } method{ swap } format{ } . When using this recipe the install stops with a "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." message (of course its not possible to do that with a preseeded install since I can't go back). If I change the / max_size to be a very large value the (otherwise identical) recipe works fine, growing the partition to fill the disk. So, is it possible to create a recipe which partitions only part of the disk, and if so could you please provide an example. FYI, I'm using the RC2 installer on i386. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
