Partitioning using preseed

the_gripmaster · 11-29-2011, 07:55 PM

I am trying to preceed my partitioning. I am not sure if it is possible to set up my partition setup using preceed. I am using Ubuntu Server 11.10 .

My setup is like this:

Code:

/dev/sda
|----/dev/sda1             ext4    /boot
|----/dev/sda2    LVM                            
                  lvroot   ext4    /
                  lvusr    ext4    /usr
                  lvhome   ext4    /home

/dev/sdb
|----/dev/sdb1             swap    swap

Is it possible to preceed this setup?

If so, a similar example in preceed code would be really appreciated.

I haven't tried but a quick google found this.
A couple of pages along, example-preseed.txt is referenced. Have a look at the bit headed "Partitioning".

Thanks but I had already looked at this page. The examples I found (managed to find with my Google foo) on the Internet doesn't have the setup I want to create: a /dev/sda1 as boot and /dev/sdb2 as a LVM partition.

I have decided to actually create the swap partition in the preceed_late section. I would like to know what partition utilities are available during the installation process? I have tried sfdisk, it doesn't seem to be available during the installation.
