preseeding/partman-auto: LVM expert recipe problem
Hi,
I have a problem regarding the partman-auto/expert-recipe. I have this
minimal recipe (very minimal, not really useful at all except to prove
this bug) and it calculates 2200000100 MB (and a lot more in my original
recipe).
: Oct 25 10:25:49 partman-auto: Available disk space (31457) too small
for expert recipe (2200000100); skipping
31457 is the ~30GB sized virtual hard disk I use for testing.
I hope this is fixable, since it is part of the stable installer.
mini recipe here:
<code>
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string SBS_PV
# d-i partman-lvm/vgcreate string SBS_PV
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root:: \
100 1000 100 ext3 \
$primary{ } \
$bootable{ } \
method{ format } \
format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } \
filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
\
\
100 1000 100 ext3 \
$lvmok{ } \
method{ format } \
format{ } \
use-filesystem{ } \
filesystem{ ext3 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
.
</code>
My desired recipe contains an explicitly declared PV, some more LV with
more defined stuff and follows all the rules I found in the
debian-installer:$doc/debian-installer/devel files (which could really
need some more examples and rules description),
The basic problem is the wrong calculation of the minimum size. I
already tried it with different priorities to see their effect on the
result, but no change.
