I'm still seeing this on 16.04.3. The 'expert_recipe' partitioning string is
being skipped / ignored. i.e., anything that looks like this:
---
preseed partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
boot-root :: \
500 500 500 ext4 \
$primary{ } \
$bootable{ } \
method{ format } \
format{ } \
use_filesystem{ } \
filesystem{ ext4 } \
mountpoint{ /boot } \
. \
---
Doesn't seem to work. I was very careful, and tried a wide range of
options - working on it for several hours with repeated attempts - and
it always got skipped. As a result (for me), the automated partitioning
stopped at the point where it would clear partitions (as seen in
/var/syslog).
I used an approach similar to that provided by Mick Pollard (see above),
and it worked as desired.
As an additional note, I used this line to automatically skip a warning
about having no swap partition:
preseed --owner partman-basicfilesystems partman-
basicfilesystems/no_swap boolean false
