I am using the debian installer with a preseed:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe \
string boot-root :: 4000 10000 40000 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
$bootable{ } \
method{ format } \
format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } \
filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
label{ root } \
. \
64 512 300% linux-swap \
method{ swap } \
format{ } \
. \
100 4000 1000000000 ext3 \
method{ keep } \
.
The intend is to re-install the system when the CD is inserted; and keep
the last partition between installs.
When switching to squeeze (from a lenny partitioned HDD with the same
recipe), the layout is slightly different:
Lenny HDD:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xfb77a217
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 4863 39062016 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 4864 38913 273506625 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 4864 5521 5285353+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 5522 38913 268221208+ 83 Linux
Squeeze HDD:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000b33ec
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 4864 39061504 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 4864 38914 273507329 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 4864 5520 5272576 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6 5520 38914 268233728 83 Linux
As a result, the method {keep} is not valid her when switching from Lenny to
Squeeze.
