I just managed to get kickstart working with an expert recipe in 18.04.
First, kickstart doesn't support the backslash syntax, so the entire
recipe needs to be on one line. Second, as mentioned in #9, you need to
surround the whole recipe with single quotes. Your preseed line should
look like
I'm still seeing this on 16.04.3. The 'expert_recipe' partitioning string is
being skipped / ignored. i.e., anything that looks like this:
---
preseed partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
500 500 500 ext4\
$primary{ }
I tried the partitioning now for several ours and found a working config
for xenial.
bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --initlabel --drives sda
partition --size 1000 --asprimary --fstype ext4 /boot
partition --size 8000 --grow --asprimary pv.local
volgroup local pv.local
logvol --name root
I just encountered this issue on xenial. I did define a /boot partition
outside of the LVM grouping.
FWIW, "d-i partman-auto-lvm/no_boot boolean
true" does get past the issue
Obviously this bug will never be fixed. :(

I was able to get this working in Lucid amd64 with some preseed magic embedded
into the kickstart file.
This is a snippet from my test kickstart file.
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext4 --size 200 --asprimary
part swap --size 1024
part pv.01 --size 1 --grow
volgroup rootvg
Even now I can't create custom partitions using Kickstart file. It seems
to overwrite those changes. Will this bug be solved or not? Its
March 2012 now, 2+ years for bug to be in open state!!!

A year and a quarter, this bug still exists - and in Ubuntu Server 10.04
LTS. This far on and the bug still isn't assigned, and its importance is
Undecided?
Let's move on this!

Noticed that my previous work around can be modified to work a little
more properly. The reason that the partman-auto/expert_recipe portion
of my preseed block was not working was a parse error on the behalf of
kickseed. Instead of echoing the preseed information into the
preseed.cfg file you
I have hacked in a solution to this for my implementation using
preseeding. My kickstart file now contains the following.
# Selecting proper disk
preseed partman-auto/disk string /dev/vda
# Removing LVM partitions
preseed partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
# Picking LVM
preseed
This is still affecting Lucid as of the builds available on Feb 24. Is
there an alternate way to feed kickseed/partman your custom partitioning
information that is documented or is this not going to be available by
release? I am unable to upgrade my 100 Ubuntu systems beyond Jaunty
and I am
I did further testing today. If you go the route of preseeding partman
you can get a little closer to the behavior that was working in Jaunty.
I have dropped this into a preseed.cfg file
# Selecting proper disk
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/vda
# Removing LVM partitions

Hi,
I am also preparing a kickseed file for Karmic deployment.
I have the same problem, the lines :
clearpart --all --initlabel
part swap --size 512 --ondisk sda
part / --fstype ext4 --size 8192 --ondisk sda
part /home --fstype ext4 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sda
