It would be nice to modify partman to be able to handle multiple disks. One
possible method that (I think) would be backward-compatible with the current
debconf preseed scheme would be to extend some of the definitions in
partman-auto-recipe.txt thusly:
As it reads now:
<recipe>::=<header>_<partitions>
Could become:
<recipe>::=<header>_<disks>
<disks>::=<disk>|<disk>_<disks>
<disk>::=<partitions>|<device>_<partitions>
It would allow the following:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/hda
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
root-swap :: \
500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } \
. \
64 512 300% linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ } \
.
To be extended into multiple-disk recipes like this:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
root-swap :: \
/dev/hda \
500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } \
. \
64 512 300% linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
/dev/hdb \
500 10000 1000000000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /home } \
. \
Without breaking support for the former entry.
