Hi,
I'm trying to create my own preseed file for automating debian installations
(inside VirtualBox).
But for the life of me I can't figure out how to construct the recipe for
hdd-partitioning.
The size of the (virtual) hdd is reported by d-i as 8.6GB and from that I want
a single root (/)
partition of 8.0GB and a swap partition of 0.6GB.
I've created and tested 2 (imo) very different recipes, but each one produces
the same result:
#1 primary 8.2GB B f ext3 /
#5 logical 401.6MB f swap swap
And here are the recipes I've created:
d-i partman-auto/expert-recipe string \
boot-root :: \
8000 8000 8000 ext4 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ }
filesystem{ ext4 }
mountpoint{ / } \
600 600 600 linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ }
d-i partman-auto/expert-recipe string \
boot-root :: \
7000 7000 7000 ext4 \
$primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ }
filesystem{ ext4 }
mountpoint{ / } . \
7700 7750 7800 linux-swap \
method{ swap } format{ } .
The last recipe has dots (.) at the end of a partition definition, but without
them I still get the
same result.
What am I doing wrong and what should I do to get the result I want?
Why is it creating an ext3 filesystem, while I specified ext4?
I can get it to ext4, but only if I change the default filesystem with the
following line:
d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext4
Any help greatly appreciated.
