RE: preseed with two hard disks
Hi Josep,
According to the documentation ( can't remember where exactly ) it's stated
that the preseed system can't handle 2 disks.
I'm trying to find a decent work around for it but no luck yet.
All we can do is hope the Debian developers will fix this some day.

Onderwerp: preseed with two hard disks
Hello.
I use lenny, I do tests in Virtualbox virtual machines, I have one HD of
40GB in these virtual machine, now I added a second hard disk in the
virtual machine, but I can't
found how to do for create a partition on this second hard disk.
Thanks
Josep
This is the related info, I changed this:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
28000 512 28000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
800 512 800 linux-swap \
$primary{ } \
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
14130 256 14600 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /home } \
.
For this:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
28000 512 28000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
800 512 800 linux-swap \
$primary{ } \
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
14130 256 14600 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /home } \
.
40000 256 40000 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /systembeta } \
And this is the full preseed part related to partitioning:
### Partitioning
# If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space.
#d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free
# Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name must
# be given in traditional non-devfs format.
# Note: A disk must be specified, unless the system has only one disk.
# For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk:
#d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
# In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use.
# The presently available methods are: "regular", "lvm" and "crypto"
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
# If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned
# contains an old LVM configuration, the user will normally receive a
# warning. This can be preseeded away...
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
# The same applies to pre-existing software RAID array:
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
# And the same goes for the confirmation to write the lvm partitions.
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
# You can choose one of the three predefined partitioning recipes:
# - atomic: all files in one partition
# - home: separate /home partition
# - multi: separate /home, /usr, /var, and /tmp partitions
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
# Or provide a recipe of your own...
# The recipe format is documented in the file devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt.
# If you have a way to get a recipe file into the d-i environment, you can
# just point at it.
#d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe_file string /hd-media/recipe
# If not, you can put an entire recipe into the preconfiguration file in one
# (logical) line. This example creates a small /boot partition, suitable
# swap, and uses the rest of the space for the root partition:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
28000 512 28000 ext3 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
800 512 800 linux-swap \
$primary{ } \
method{ swap } format{ } \
. \
14130 256 14600 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /home } \
.
40000 256 40000 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } \
&#-1;&#-1; mountpoint{ /systembeta }
\
.. .
# This makes partman automatically partition without confirmation, provided
# that you told it what to do using one of the methods above.
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
