RE: Multi-disk partman-auto LVM expert_recipe problems
Missed a line in the output, the cause of the hang:
Partman-auto: Available disk space (8012) too small for expert recipe (161200); skipping

In an attempt to start from a minimal config and build, I've come up with this partman. However, it's not working for me either.
Here are the issues I'm seeing:
- Though I have specified only a single disk to partman-auto/disk string of /dev/sdb and specifically declare the device in my lvm physical volume, the recipe is using _both_ of my disks.
- the recipe freezes after detecting disks:
Partman: PV /dev/sda2 VG hostname lvm2 [3.64 TiB / 0 free]
Partman: PV /dev/sdb1 VG hostname lvm2 [7.46 GiB / 0 free]
Partman: Total: 2 [ 3.64 TiB] / in use: 2 [3.64 TiB] / in no VG :0 [0 ]
Partman: Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while....
Partman Found volume group "hostname" using metadata type lvm2
Partman-lvm: 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "hostname"now active
Partman-lvm: VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
Partman-lvm: hostname 2 2 0 wz--n- 3.64t 0

I'm attempting to create a hands off debian install that partitions out our servers. Each server has a single internal 8GB SSD and a hardware RAID 10 volume we'll use for volatile storage (/var, /tmp, /home).
All partman* d-i options are included below. When using the full recipe, I would get "no volume groups found" followed by "available disk space (4006626) too small for expert recipe (2200004100)".
My understanding of the size specifications are that given:
3000 2000 1000000000
The minimum is 3000 MB, with max of all space available, and a priority of 2000. So if the minimums fit within the size of the drive, it should succeed. But it looks like it's adding up all the maxes including those of the primary LVM physical volumes for which the logical are a members.
On a side, in the list archives I saw it mentioned that the \ are not needed...but when I remove them the pxe boot throws an invalid preseed file error.
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
