Hi all,
To elaborate on my previous message:

I forgot to say that I want to different VGs (dom0 and domU). I couldn't
find any way to do that with a partman recipe, so I decided to do a little
magic in a late_script.
For this to work, I needed the LVM partition dom0 not larger than exactly
needed (about 10G). I've tried creating an empty non-LVM partition in my
recipe, but apparantly two non-LVM partitions aren't allowed (I also need a
non-LVM /boot). At least, I got a message telling me there was no root and
indeed, the LVM partition was only 30M large and contained no LVs.
This was the recipe I tried:
string dom0-domU ::
512 512 512 ext3
$primary{ }
$bootable{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
mountpoint { /boot }
.
2048 2048 2048 ext3
$lvmok{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
mountpoint{ / }
.
7168 7168 7168 ext3
$lvmok{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
mountpoint{ /var }
.
1024 1024 1024 linux-swap
$lvmok{ }
method{ swap } format{ }
.
512 512 512 ext3
$lvmok{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
mountpoint{ /tmp }
.
1024 1024 1024 ext3
$lvmok{ }
method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }
mountpoint{ /home }
.
100 100000 1000000000 ext2
$primary{ }
method{ keep }
.
As soon as I remove the last partition or add it to the LVM, it works. But
then I have no room to play with easily. Last time when I asked this, I got
a message telling me to bypass partman. I've been looking into that, but
haven't found a good solution for this.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can achieve this? One thing I thought
about is having a simple recipe and doing it all manually in the
late_script. Not sure if that's the best solution.
Any tips would be appreciated!
