--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Hi. I have the following in a preseed file: (stripped out various confirmation things that are unrelated to paritioning) d-i partman-auto/method string lvm # Oh well, the following doesn't exist in Debian and is left # over from the time the preseed was used for Ubuntu. d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string 43G d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ boot-root :: \ 1 1 1 free \ $iflabel{ gpt } \ $reusemethod{ } \ method{ biosgrub } \ . \ 2048 2048 2048 fat32 \ $iflabel{ gpt } \ $reusemethod{ } \ method{ efi } \ format{ } \ . \ 2048 2048 2048 ext2 \ $defaultignore{ } \ $primary{ } \ $bootable{ } \ method{ format } \ format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } \ filesystem{ ext2 } \ mountpoint{ /boot } \ . \ 26624 26625 41984 $default_filesystem \ $lvmok{ } \ method{ format } \ format{ } \ use_filesystem{ } \ $default_filesystem{ } \ mountpoint{ / } \ . \ 2048 2048 2048 linux-swap \ $lvmok{ } \ method{ swap } \ format{ } \ . As far as the documentation goes, I would expect that on a machine with ~560GB of disk (array) that all of the following should be true: - Disk completely consumed by partitions (yep) - A single large physical volume for LVM (yep) - /boot partition outside LVM (yep) - small free space at start and a GPT/efi partition (yep) - root (/) partition to have at most 41GB (yep) - swap to have at most 2GB (NO) - root partition to be much larger than swap (NO) - LVs in the VG to use no more than 43G (no, but that was an Ubuntu-only option anyhow) So despite the max partition size of root and swap, all of the LVM is used. And to the vast majority by swap (~516G). Which is unexpected: a) Why is swap larger than root, despite smaller minimal and smaller priority? b) Why is all of the VG used up, even though the preseed values say that only ~43GB should be used at most (41GB for root and 2GB for swap)? So, this is essentially a bug report that maximum sizes are not adhered to and a weak feature request to support the guided_size option Ubuntu has. Kind regards, Sven
