icarus901cjwatson, is there a good way (via a partman recipe) to reserve an amount of free space at the end of a volume but leave the rest subject to the normal guided install?00:21

cjwatsonicarus901: not possible right now, I filed a bug on Debian partman-auto about it years ago00:33
cjwatsonthe only thing you can do is stick a dummy partition there and remove it later00:34

icarus901that's a shame01:09
icarus901dummy partition using partman/early_command (or the alternative hack you described previously)? or via a recipe01:10
cjwatsonicarus901: should be possible in a recipe, that's what I meant09:40

juliuxi have a problem with preseed again, the raid system is not created by preseed, i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html#preseed-partman-raid and logs from the installation are available at http://office.ciphron.de/preseed/logs/11:06
juliuxok got the raid think running13:48
juliuxonly one problem is left, is there a way to destroy all old raids?13:49
cr3cjwatson: is it just me or did initrd.gz get renamed to initrd.lz?14:59
cr3I'm seeing karmic-desktop-i386/casper/initrd.lz, but I'm also seeing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz15:01
cjwatsonyes, it was renamed15:02
cjwatsonbut only for live CDs15:02
cjwatsonrecompressed actually, with lzma; it saved about 3MB15:02
cr3cjwatson: gotcha, I'll update my scripts accordingly15:03
cjwatsonit only saves about 1.5MB for the alternate CD apparently, but it might be worthwhile anyway I guess15:03
cjwatsonit's .lz rather than the more standard .lzma because I didn't want to create problems when the installer is booting from FAT filesystems15:04
cr3I really wish my scripts supported transparently supporting initrd.gz or initrd.lz, and vmlinuz or linux15:04
* cr3 needs more coffee, can't speak english quite right15:04
icarus901cjwatson, ahh I see; I misunderstood -- thanks15:05
juliuxi am only getting sometimes the message "he kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/md0 (Invalid argument). This means Linux won’t know anything about the modifications you made until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/md0.15:51
juliuxis there a way how i can answer this question just with yes?15:52
