Bug#411841: debian-installer: 4th partition cannot be primary
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20061102
I'm auto-installing some servers with debian-installer. I'm creating 4
partitions, which all should be primary.
I'm using this config:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
4000 10000 4000 linux-swap \
$primary{ } method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
8000 10000 8000 reiserfs \
$primary{ } method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ reiserfs } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
6000 10000 6000 reiserfs \
$primary{ } method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ reiserfs } \
mountpoint{ /var/log } \
. \
6000 10000 100000 reiserfs \
$primary{ } method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ reiserfs } \
mountpoint{ /var/backup } \
.
But debian-installer creates the last partition as extended. I have to
manually delete it and recrate it as primary.
IMHO, debian-installer should only make the 4th partition extended if
there is a 5th partition
This is on Etch's debian-installer, as of 20061102.
