Re: Partman recipe

Ok here is what I did.
I wrote the following script (thanks Free Ekanayaka for your sources):

#!/bin/sh

set -e

#
# Choice of the right partman-recipe
#
# Partition that will be mounted on /home
HOME=/dev/discs/disc0/part6
# Where to mount the partition
MNT=/tmp/mnt
# Path of the partman-recipe
RECIPE=/tmp/partman-recipe
RECIPE_KEEP=/cdrom/wedux-extra/partman-recipe-keep
RECIPE_FORMAT=/cdrom/wedux-extra/partman-recipe-format

depmod
modprobe jbd
modprobe ext3

mkdir -p $MNT
if mount $HOME $MNT; then
        cp $RECIPE_KEEP $RECIPE
        umount $MNT
else
        cp $RECIPE_FORMAT $RECIPE
fi


I tried using a preseed file that contains the following fields:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /tmp/partman-recipe
d-i preseed/early_command string sh
/cdrom/wedux-extra/partman-auto-recipe.sh (the script above)

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The early-command is run too early, and
the modules ext3 and jbd fail to load. 
So do you think there is a way to run this script right before partman
starts (so using preseeding only) or do I have to create a udeb ?

Thanks a lot for your answers.
