No, didn't help, when i created a 100GB partition ignoring the last 250GB or so. What is furthermore strange is that parted doesn't list the partitions by hand in d-i, while they are ok in the installed system, and they are also ok in the partman menu, and also show up after a reboot. > > Please add 'set -x' in /lib/partman/definitions.sh, reproduce error and > > send full log (gzipped) to BR. > > Will provide, not sure if it will bring more info than the above > hand-investigated issue though. Provided are the logs, well, i added the 'set -x' only after discovering the problem in the first run, and then redoing the RAID thingy, but i hope this is ok. Tell me if you need the log with the set -x of the full partitioning process. Friendly, Sven Luther
