| alienresidents | hello, anyone available to help with a base-installer via netboot issue? | 08:14 |
|---|---|---|
| alienresidents | anyway, I am having an issue where when installing via kickstart (preseed, and/or ks) on a not-routed subnet (ie: same subnet), everything works as expected. | 08:16 |
| alienresidents | The problem is when I am installing on a routed subnet (ie: via a router). During the install process, it seems to be going fine, download the installer components and right up until the base-installer kicks in (debconf_debug=5), and then suddenly it's unable to download packages with a "Connection failed" message. | 08:17 |
| alienresidents | :( | 08:20 |
| alienresidents | well, hopefully someone will come alive at some point :) | 08:20 |
| alienresidents | I've got plenty more information when required... | 08:20 |
| alienresidents | OK, well for anyone that is concerned after they wake up... we have a context/protocol aware firewall that was allowing the first part of the install process to get to the base-installer stage, and then the protocol was being seen as apt-get (rightly so), and the firewall peoples hadn't allowed apt-get (go figure). | 08:48 |

| lassizci | is there any way to determine the size of a disk in kickseed's %pre? It looks like it's executed quite early, so it doesn't know about disks yet | 13:56 |
| lassizci | partitioning is done based on disk size so I try to determine the disk size in %pre and generate the partitioning schema there | 13:59 |
| lassizci | using preseed partman/early_command in the kickstart just makes the partman questions pop out and it seems to ignore kickstart defined partitioning, when used | 14:00 |

| nuclearbob | I could use some help with an expert partman recipe for lvm if somebody's got a minute | 15:45 |

| xnox | nuclearbob: those are tricky. What are you after? | 17:04 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: I want to create a volume group that fills the whole disk and a logical volume that only takes up part of the volume group so we can use snapshotting | 17:05 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: you can use automatic preseeding and set an option to only fill the lvs upto such %. | 17:06 |
| xnox | one sec. | 17:06 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: thanks. If it's easier for me to pop over to whatever room you're in, I can do that as well | 17:06 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: partman-auto-lvm/guided_size | 17:08 |
| xnox | preseed that to some sensible value like 50% | 17:08 |
| xnox | and you should be able to use just the bog-standard lvm preseed we have in the desktop/server utah ubuntu testcases. | 17:09 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: awesome, thanks | 17:09 |
| xnox | nuclearbob: you can read the template help info about that option in the partman-auto-lvm package | 17:09 |
| nuclearbob | rad | 17:09 |
