autoinstall storage section
Locked
 
|
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.

I found a number of really good examples here:

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? Jerry storage: config: - id: disk0 type: disk name: main_disk wipe: superblock grub_device: true preserve: false # Boot partition - id: disk0-part1 type: partition number: 1 size: 1GB device: disk0 flag: boot # Root partition - id: disk0-part2 type: partition number: 2 size: 20G device: disk0 # home partition - id: disk0-3 type: partition number: 3 size: -1 device: disk0 # format boot - id: disk0-part1-format type: format path: /boot/efi fstype: vfat # format root - id: disk0-part2-format type: format path: / fstype: ext4 # format home - id: disk0-part3-format type: format path: /home fstype: ext4 On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 7:14 PM alex <[hidden email]> wrote: I found a number of really good examples here: -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
