Support multiple disks in partman-auto-lvm
We now support preseeded partitioning of multiple disks when using the
"lvm" method. On top of that recipes can now optionally specify:
- partitions holding Physical Volumes,
- the Volume Group held by a Physical Volume,
- in which Volume Group a Logical Volume will be.
Disks that are going to be partitioned are specified in
partman-auto/disk. Partitions that are neither on a Logical Volumes,
nor have a specific device specified (e.g. /boot) will default on being
on the first disk.
To explicitely declare a Physical Volume, use the following in the
recipe:
100 1000 1000000000 ext3 \
$defaultignore{ } \
$primary{ } \
method{ lvm } \
device{ /dev/hdb } \
vg_name{ vg00 } \
.
Both "device{ ... }" and "vg_name{ }" are optional.
The device *must* be listed in partman-auto/disk.
The Volume Group holding a Logical Volume can be specified using
"in_vg{ }", e.g.:
96 512 300% linux-swap \
$lvmok{ } \
in_vg{ vg00 } \
lv_name{ myswap } \
method{ swap } \
format{ } \
.
Some implementation details:
* autopartition-lvm and auto_lvm_perform() now takes multiple devices
as their first argument.
* display.d/initial_auto has been updated to give all disks to
autopartition-lvm at once.
* auto_lvm_prepare() will create a map of VGs to PVs in the form of
files in /var/lib/partman/auto_lvm_map. These files will be used by
auto_lvm_perform() to create all known Volume Groups and create their
Logical Volumes.
Based on a patch by Grégory Oestreicher.

* Rename auto_init_disk() to auto_init_disks() as it can now initialize
|
| 20 | 20 |
multiple disks at once. autopartition has been updated accordingly.

Breaks: partman-auto-lvm (<< 29)

* Call autopartition-lvm on all disks in partman-auto/disk at once to enable
|
|
23 |
proper support of multiple disks partitioning.
