[19:36] <Skiessi> anyone here? someone has a question about wubi in #ubuntu and it's kinda busy around there
[19:37] <Skiessi> yeah that's what I thought
[19:41] <evand> argh
[21:03] <mario_limonciell> evand, is there a second string that needs to be preseeded to make sure partman doesn't touch different drives?  I'm preseeding "d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda", but it's still picking sdb (since it has the biggest free space)
[21:11] <evand> odd, my understanding is that should definitely restrict it to sda.  Can you post logs so I can take a look when I get back in tonight?
[21:11] <mario_limonciell> yeah
[21:11] <evand> thanks, much appreciated
[22:24] <mario_limonciell> hm well so in mucking through partman-auto code, I see why the disk isn't being used
[22:24] <mario_limonciell> you can only preseed the disk if you also choose a method to run on it
[22:25] <mario_limonciell> so if you seed in 'regular', it blows away the whole partition table and uses the given recipe in place
[22:30] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, would you be able to expand display.d/initial_auto to cover this case?
[22:30] <mario_limonciell> it looks like if a second paramater can be passed to autopartition it would be willing to do this in the free space
[23:05] <mario_limonciell> alternatively, letting init_automatically_partition listen to the disk debconf option would work too
[23:15] <mario_limonciell> cjwatson, I suppose you are already away for the holiday weekend :).  Well when you return, I summarized this all in bug 204878.
