LVM support is production ready, although of course I don't know if the implementation meets with your requirements. The main limitation of partman-auto is that it only works on a single harddisk and thus is not really useable to set up multi-disk systems. For the rest it is quite flexible and can be customized by adding the recipes you need. As for the resize_inode option, Otavio has given you the answer as to libparted status. Realizing an alternative solution in partman would probably mean someone from debian-edu will have to do the work (or find someone) as we don't really have a lead partman maintainer. If you can provide a patch that does not result in important regressions, that would be fine. But I seem to remember from an earlier thread that pere's proposed solution would mean losing the progress bar for ext3 formatting. Cheers, FJP
