max does not work with LVM. I will try to get it working for next release. Anas David Corlette wrote:
Hello there,
I'm trying to set up a disk as follows:
/dev/hda1: / 2GB /dev/hda2: swap auto size /dev/hda3: lvm "system" max (rest of disk) /dev/sys/var_lv: /var 200MB /dev/sys/home_lv: /home max (rest of LVM space)
I would think this would be a pretty common arrangement (e.g. to have LVM fill a disk, and then a volume within that fill the LVM space), but for some reason the "/home" partition always ends up being of "unknown" size.
Is there any way to get this to work, or am I hosed?
Thanks!
Here's the relevant section of my control file: <partitioning config:type="list"> <drive> <device>/dev/hda</device> <use>all</use> <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <mount>/</mount> <size>2GB</size> <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem> <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
