[19:36] anyone here? someone has a question about wubi in #ubuntu and it's kinda busy around there [19:37] yeah that's what I thought [19:41] argh [21:03] 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] 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] yeah [21:11] thanks, much appreciated === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson [22:24] hm well so in mucking through partman-auto code, I see why the disk isn't being used [22:24] you can only preseed the disk if you also choose a method to run on it [22:25] so if you seed in 'regular', it blows away the whole partition table and uses the given recipe in place [22:30] cjwatson, would you be able to expand display.d/initial_auto to cover this case? [22:30] 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] alternatively, letting init_automatically_partition listen to the disk debconf option would work too [23:15] cjwatson, I suppose you are already away for the holiday weekend :). Well when you return, I summarized this all in bug 204878.
