[00:21] <icarus901> cjwatson, 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?

[00:33] <cjwatson> icarus901: not possible right now, I filed a bug on Debian partman-auto about it years ago
[00:34] <cjwatson> the only thing you can do is stick a dummy partition there and remove it later

[01:09] <icarus901> that's a shame
[01:10] <icarus901> dummy partition using partman/early_command (or the alternative hack you described previously)? or via a recipe
[09:40] <cjwatson> icarus901: should be possible in a recipe, that's what I meant

[11:05] <juliux> hi
[11:06] <juliux> i 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/
[13:48] <juliux> ok got the raid think running
[13:49] <juliux> only one problem is left, is there a way to destroy all old raids?
[14:59] <cr3> cjwatson: is it just me or did initrd.gz get renamed to initrd.lz?
[15:01] <cr3> I'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.gz
[15:02] <cjwatson> yes, it was renamed
[15:02] <cjwatson> but only for live CDs
[15:02] <cjwatson> recompressed actually, with lzma; it saved about 3MB
[15:03] <cr3> cjwatson: gotcha, I'll update my scripts accordingly
[15:03] <cjwatson> it only saves about 1.5MB for the alternate CD apparently, but it might be worthwhile anyway I guess
[15:04] <cjwatson> it's .lz rather than the more standard .lzma because I didn't want to create problems when the installer is booting from FAT filesystems
[15:04] <cr3> I really wish my scripts supported transparently supporting initrd.gz or initrd.lz, and vmlinuz or linux
[15:04]  * cr3 needs more coffee, can't speak english quite right
[15:05] <icarus901> cjwatson, ahh I see; I misunderstood -- thanks
[15:51] <juliux> i 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.
[15:52] <juliux> is there a way how i can answer this question just with yes?
