Package: partman
Version: 34
I wanted to crrate swap on #3, root on #6 (ext3) and LVM on #7. #3
had swap already, #6 ext3 already, but I told it to reformat anyway.
#7 was ext2 before, but I wanted LVM. I configured this in partman:
IDE1 master - 30.7 GB Maxtor 6E030L0
> #1 primary 9.7 MB B ext2
> #2 primary 4.9 GB ext2
> #3 primary 511.9 MB F swap swap
> #5 logical 5.0 GB ext3
> #6 logical 4.9 GB F ext3 /
> #7 logical 15.2 GB F lvm
and then went to the LVM configuration tool. But creating a VG told
me that no physical volume (PV) exists... I went to a shell and pvscan
could not find anything. fdisk showed that #7 was marked as LVM,
though. The other interesting thing is that when I entered the LVM
config menu, partman told me it would write its changes to disk, but
then it did not do anything (hmmm, maybe the first time I answered
this question with "no" (i.e. don't write changes), but I definitely
answered "yes" the second try.
/var/log/partman is attached.
