Package: partman-auto Version: 66 Severity: important I tested today's daily netinst build of i386 on a machine w/ a 1.2TB logical disk and found that it silently fails to calculate partition sizes.
I selected "Partion Disks"->"Guided Partitioning"->"Guided - use entire disk" Selected my one option: SCSI.CCISS (-,0,0) (cciss/c0d0) - 1.2 TB Compaq Smart Array And "All files in one partition". It then presents the overview menu[1], but apparently nothing was done. If I let it use the whole disk but split up the partitions, it comes up with some reasonable-looking calculations. I'll look into this more later this week - I've not yet debugged any of the partitioning code so helpful suggestions are welcome :) fyi, this also exists in sarge installers. [1] ??? This is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount ??? ??? points. Select a partition to modify its settings (file system, mount ??? ??? point, etc.), a free space to create partitions, or a device to ??? ??? initialise its partition table. ??? ??? S ??? ???
