[13:45] <eoli3n> Hi
[13:45] <eoli3n> i come from #ubuntu-devel : cjwatson
[13:46] <eoli3n> i'm scripting a tricky kickstart file
[13:47] <eoli3n> here the file : https://ptpb.pw/hmoi
[13:48] <eoli3n> i'm searching how to make partitioning automatic, without prompting anything AND use an existing sfdisk partition as a blank one (windows)
[13:49] <eoli3n> as it is, i was hoping that it pass without prompting, but it still does
[13:57] <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
[13:58] <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> ?
[13:59] <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 ?
[14:03] <cjwatson> sorry, out of time to help here
[14:03] <cjwatson> I hope somebody else can pick this up
[14:05] <eoli3n> cjwatson: understand, thx again
[14:08] <eoli3n> is there any way to create partitions with sfdisk, then ask for debian installer to use them with partman ?
[14:20] <CarlFK> eoli3n: I've seen this come up - I don't personally do it, but google "di early_command disk"
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <eoli3n> the problematic part now is "then ask for debian installer to use them with partman"
[14:24] <CarlFK> ah, you don't know what the label is?
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <eoli3n> i dont get why you ask for that, there's not label in my paste
[14:28] <CarlFK> im not sure what isn't working
[14:28] <eoli3n> tell me ?
[14:30] <eoli3n> the fact is that the installer prompt to ask me for manual partitionning
[14:43] <CarlFK> ah, you don't want the installer to create partitions, because you already did, right ?
[14:58] <eoli3n> yep
[15:06] <eoli3n> is there a way CarlFK ?
[15:11] <eoli3n> OR i want the installer to keep my sda1 as is, and create all others partitions
[15:22] <eoli3n> hm... i fail in something
[15:22] <eoli3n> even with preseed partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
[15:22] <eoli3n> it still prompt
[15:23] <eoli3n> https://ptpb.pw/UH4X
[15:24] <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.  "
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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
[15:30] <eoli3n> my last chance
[15:30] <eoli3n> is to be able, as said, to create with debian-installer a part in sectors unit
[15:31] <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
[15:32] <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
[15:33] <eoli3n> https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1269334
[15:55] <eoli3n> it wooooooorks
[17:12] <CarlFK> eoli3n: how did you do it?
