** Description changed: - Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/565947: + [Impact] - Package: debian-installer - Version: 20091215 - Severity: normal + * Auto LVM recipe fails to install, if hostname matches one of existing + volume group names or devices under /dev/ + [Test Case] - Using the guided partition mode with LVM setup might fail if the - chosen hostname corresponds with an existing device name. + * Do not preseed default VG name & specify a hostname as clashing with + a device under /dev/, e.g. "port". Before the installation fails, now + "port-vg" VG name is used. - Example: + * Specify a clashing default VG name, e.g. port. Before the + installation fails, now a message appears that "This name is in use + already" and asks to select a different one. - The hostname is set to "vcs". The name of the automatically created - volume group is "vcs" as well then, though creation and use of it - fail because /dev/vcs is an existing character device already. + [Regression Potential] - The *source* of the error isn't visible in the user interface but - just in the syslog. - - regards, - -mika- + * Some systems may expect default VG group name to match the hostname + exactly. In those cases "partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name" should be + preseeded explicitly to an expected value.
