I am having trouble with the storage section for autoinstall.
I simple want to use the disk (sda, vda, nvme) whichever it finds. format a /boot/efi perhaps 512M on partition 1 format ext4 a 20G / on partition 2 format ext4 rest to /home on partition 3 I keep getting FAILED storage or something... How do I accomplish the above simple configuration?

Something like this should do it: zerombr yes clearpart --all part /boot/efi --fstype=vfat --size=512 part / --fstype=ext4 --size=20480 part /home --fstype=ext4 --size=20480 --grow You can use "DEBCONF_DEBUG=x" (maximum "x" is 5) on the kernel cmdline and switch to another console when the installation fails to read the error message(s). -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Hi Tom - Thanks those commands are for kickstart - I do know those - I was talking about autoinstall. I dont know how to do that in autoinstall. there seems to be no autoinstall-editor at this time.

ok - I took at stab at creating the partition: below is my storage section. Only thing I see for error is " missing required positional argument volume". Basically just trying to make /boot/efi, / and /home with size. Just a straight basic layout. Not trying to make volumes - just 3 basic partitions and mount. What am I missing?
