Unexpected results from custom partitioning scheme - Ubuntu preseed unattended install
- by Mark Renouf
Hi... I need some help with partman-auto custom recipe in preseed.... it's doing unexpected things, the docs aren't so clear.
This is in my preseed file:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root-var :: \
1024 100 1024 ext4 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
2048 50 4096 ext4 \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
mountpoint{ / } \
. \
4096 25 100000 ext4 \
method{ format } format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
mountpoint{ /var } \
. \
256 75 100% linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ } \
.
Given an 80GB drive. I ended up with these partitions:
/ 2GB
/boot 1GB
/var 4GB
swap 72GB
What went wrong? What I want is:
/ 2GB
/boot 1GB
/var 72GB
swap 4GB
