| eoli3n | Hi | 13:45 |
|---|---|---|
| eoli3n | i come from #ubuntu-devel : cjwatson | 13:45 |
| eoli3n | i'm scripting a tricky kickstart file | 13:46 |
| eoli3n | here the file : https://ptpb.pw/hmoi | 13:47 |
| eoli3n | i'm searching how to make partitioning automatic, without prompting anything AND use an existing sfdisk partition as a blank one (windows) | 13:48 |
| eoli3n | as it is, i was hoping that it pass without prompting, but it still does | 13:49 |
| eoli3n | cjwatson: a simple question, i dont find wait means : 500 10000 1000000 ext3 | 13:57 |
| eoli3n | in https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/debian-installer.git;a=blob;f=doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt;h=bc8b541c59b319147db652f8db01f5c4f427b249;hb=HEAD | 13:57 |
| eoli3n | the explaination is poor | 13:58 |
| eoli3n | "Here the root partition must be at least 500 mb" | 13:58 |
| eoli3n | what means 10000 and 1000000 | 13:58 |
| eoli3n | ? | 13:58 |
| eoli3n | another example : 64 512 300% linux-swap : "swap partition ranges from 64 mb to 3 times the system's ram" | 13:59 |
| eoli3n | so what means 512 ? it's just a factor ? | 13:59 |
| eoli3n | 300% of 512MB ? | 13:59 |
| cjwatson | sorry, out of time to help here | 14:03 |
| cjwatson | I hope somebody else can pick this up | 14:03 |
| eoli3n | cjwatson: understand, thx again | 14:05 |
| eoli3n | is there any way to create partitions with sfdisk, then ask for debian installer to use them with partman ? | 14:08 |
| CarlFK | eoli3n: I've seen this come up - I don't personally do it, but google "di early_command disk" | 14:20 |
| eoli3n | CarlFK: thx but i already use this | 14:22 |
| eoli3n | my question is more tricky | 14:22 |
| eoli3n | please look at https://ptpb.pw/hmoi | 14:22 |
| eoli3n | the problematic part now is "then ask for debian installer to use them with partman" | 14:23 |
| CarlFK | ah, you don't know what the label is? | 14:24 |
| eoli3n | i know what is a label, but i use it as : https://ptpb.pw/gkU2 | 14:26 |
| eoli3n | but that's not the point | 14:26 |
| eoli3n | "/" is a string | 14:26 |
| eoli3n | i dont get why you ask for that, there's not label in my paste | 14:27 |
| CarlFK | im not sure what isn't working | 14:28 |
| eoli3n | tell me ? | 14:28 |
| eoli3n | the fact is that the installer prompt to ask me for manual partitionning | 14:30 |
| CarlFK | ah, you don't want the installer to create partitions, because you already did, right ? | 14:43 |
| eoli3n | yep | 14:58 |
| eoli3n | is there a way CarlFK ? | 15:06 |
| eoli3n | OR i want the installer to keep my sda1 as is, and create all others partitions | 15:11 |
| eoli3n | hm... i fail in something | 15:22 |
| eoli3n | even with preseed partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic | 15:22 |
| eoli3n | it still prompt | 15:22 |
| eoli3n | https://ptpb.pw/UH4X | 15:23 |
| CarlFK | https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs01.html.en#preseed-limitations | 15:24 |
| CarlFK | "You must (re)partition an entire disk or use available free space on a disk; it is not possible to use existing partitions. " | 15:24 |
| eoli3n | rrr ok | 15:25 |
| eoli3n | last idea | 15:25 |
| eoli3n | if i use fdisk, it's to be able to create the exact same sda1, in sectors unit | 15:25 |
| CarlFK | but.. someone worked around it https://askubuntu.com/questions/191849/how-to-use-existing-partition-in-preseeded-installation | 15:26 |
| eoli3n | huhu | 15:26 |
| eoli3n | i read it | 15:26 |
| eoli3n | "my post"... its extremly complex | 15:26 |
| CarlFK | yep | 15:27 |
| eoli3n | so with debian installer, no kickstart --onpart and no existing part with preseed | 15:27 |
| eoli3n | so i'm fucked | 15:27 |
| eoli3n | my last chance | 15:30 |
| eoli3n | is to be able, as said, to create with debian-installer a part in sectors unit | 15:30 |
| eoli3n | "You must (re)partition an entire disk or use available free space on a disk; it is not possible to use existing partitions." | 15:31 |
| eoli3n | is meaningless | 15:31 |
| eoli3n | "use available free space on a disk" | 15:32 |
| eoli3n | i want it | 15:32 |
| eoli3n | i do not want to "use existing partitions" | 15:32 |
| eoli3n | just want to use free space | 15:32 |
| eoli3n | and let the actual part as is | 15:32 |
| eoli3n | so not meaningless | 15:32 |
| eoli3n | https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1269334 | 15:33 |
| eoli3n | it wooooooorks | 15:55 |
| CarlFK | eoli3n: how did you do it? | 17:12 |
