Problem with preseed partitioning
Hi guru's,
I am running into a problem with a system that I want to install via a preseed config file.
All goes well, except the partitioning part. The system I want to install is a HP Proliant DL380 G5 with SmartArray.
For some reason, the recipe I've created isn't used; the installer falls back to the standard partitioning scheme.
I must say, I am installing Ubuntu, but since Ubuntu is Debian based, and the Ubuntu maillinglists can't answer my problem, I am trying my luck here.
The partitioning part of the preseed file is shown below:
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-auto/disk /dev/cciss/c0d0
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
2048 50 2048 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
2048 50 2048 linux-swap \
$primary{ } method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
4096 50 4096 ext3 \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /usr } \
. \
4096 50 4096 ext3 \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /var } \
. \
2048 50 2048 ext3 \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /tmp } \
. \
4096 50 1000000000 ext3 \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /data } \
.
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition \
select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
Can someone shed a light on this and help me out what I am doing wrong or forgetting ?
cheers,
Andy
