I don't undertand how you're using both "d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM" and "d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string ...". The former shouldn't be there if you want to use your own recipe. Otherwise it looks fine. You might need "lvmignore{ } " in the "/boot" part of the recipe. You can use "in_vg{ vgname }" and "lv_name{ lvname }" to customize the VG and LV names. You don't need the many "\". Within a recipe, tabs and new lines are converted to spaces and white space is then converted to one space. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
