Bug#516339: debian-installer: init_automatically_partition behaves different on lenny with LVM
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090123
Severity: normal
for etch I was using the following preseed lines to setup my systems
partition with LVM:
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select boot-root-lvm
d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition \
select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM
d-i partman/choose_partition \
select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root-lvm :: \
100 512 200 ext2 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext2 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
1000 512 1000 xfs \
$lvmok{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ xfs } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
..... (more LVs)
When I do this now with the rc2 debian-installer instead, the behavior of
init_automatically_partition has changed. Feeding it with "Guided - use
entire disk and set up LVM" will not as the name say use logical volumes
for the partition, furthermore it creates common logical partitions.
When I instead provide the option as
d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition \
select some_device_lvm
the previous etch behavior gets restored and the logical volumes get
created correctly.
It seems that this "Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM" in fact now
matches the "Guided - use entire disk" option.
So far this is reproduceable here.
