Hi, I'm stuck with partman expert_recipe for 3 days now and it's driving me crazy.
I've a 250GB hard drive and i try to use the following partition layout : primary partition 512M /boot 4096M swap LVM 10G /usr 20G /var 10G / left free space to /home so i use this recipe : d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string boot-root :: 512 513 512 ext3 $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } mountpoint{ '/boot' } . 1024 1025 4096 linux-swap $primary{ } method{ swap } format{ } . 1 10 -1 ext3 $primary{ } method{ lvm } vg_name { debian } . 10240 10241 10240 ext4 $defaultignore{ } lv_name{ lv_usr } in_vg{ debian } method{ lvm } format{ } $lvmok{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } options/noatime{ noatime } mountpoint{ '/usr' } . 20480 20481 20480 ext4 $defaultignore{ } lv_name{ lv_var } in_vg{ debian } method{ lvm } format{ } $lvmok{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } options/noatime{ noatime } mountpoint{ '/var' } . 10240 10241 10240 ext4 $defaultignore{ } lv_name{ lv_root } in_vg{ debian } method{ lvm } format{ } $lvmok{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } options/noatime{ noatime } mountpoint{ '/' } . 1 10 -1 ext4 $defaultignore{ } lv_name{ lv_home } in_vg{ debian } method{ lvm } format{ } $lvmok{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } options/noatime{ noatime } mountpoint{ '/home' } The only things i get is "Available disk space (250059) is too small for expert recipe (15400000000). This number 15400000000 is so huge. I think about a signed / unsigned error in partman. I try to follow the size allocation formula to see if something goes wrong but everything looks fine. If someone can give me a hand on this, it would be greatly appreciated. Regards, .
