Description Glen Ogilvie 2013-04-18 12:55:56 CEST
Description of problem:

After performing an installation that has LVM, mdadm raid 1, xfs, brtfs and ext4 filesystems, along with a user.

Reviewing /root/drakx/auto_inst.cfg.pl

These are missing from the generated file.

http://members.shaw.ca/mandrake/drakx/AutoInstall-10.0.3.html#partitions
outlines the expected output.


Full support for all the complexities of partitioning in the auto_inst would be really useful for the automated installer testing I am working on.

I believe this related to
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:Auto_Install_Doc
as well, at least a little.

Reproducible:

My knowledge of the installer if not really good enough to do anything about it.

I can provide more information if needed.

Tested today, using "Wed Apr 24 18:49:47 CEST 2013",
Mageia-3-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso

It still does not generate any details about LVM partitioning in auto_inst.cfg.pl

What user details do you miss (see summary)? password signatures?
Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2013-05-01 01:59:24 CEST
For fses, you can try this morning install from your favorite mirror once it's synced.
eg: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/stage2/
Comment 11 Glen Ogilvie 2013-05-19 23:59:21 CEST
Sure, will do a test.  It might take me a few days before I get time to do so.
Glen
Comment 12 Samuel Verschelde 2013-08-26 17:31:05 CEST
Hi Glen, did you manage to do your test? If successful, then Thierry will be able to apply the patch, so that Mageia 4's installer is ok in this regard.

Missing reply since 1 1/2 years. Closing as OLD.

Kindly remark pre-5 installers will not be fixed.

The big may be reopened if experienced again with current installer (5beta1 or later). In such case change the relevant headers please and add the current report. Thanks.

Comment 14 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-05 23:33:47 CEST
We indeed do not fill the data in auto_insta.cfg.pl.
But it's documented here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Auto_inst#Examples_21 so it's easy to manually fill such an autoinst config file
