What kind of partitioning is used in preseed?
Whether using a preseed or a manual install the default partitioning setup is to use what Debian calls “atomic”. When using atomic the installer creates two partitions The one PV contains a single Volume Group (VG) which will contain two Logical Volumes (LV).
How are the partitions created in Debian preseed?
Debian has a preseed notion that’s called “multi”. Just like “atomic” it will automatically create two partitions, but the real changes happen within the VG itself. Instead of the two LVs above we’ll now have 6 arranged thusly. How the partitions resize gets a little weird.
How big of a partition do I need for one PV?
The one PV contains a single Volume Group (VG) which will contain two Logical Volumes (LV). The logic is a little deeper; while swap defaults to the same size as the RAM you have it will expand up to twice the RAM. Similarly / will be at least 500MB and will expand out to fill the rest of the partition.
How are minimum, maximum, and priority determined in preseed?
During preseeding the minimum, maximum, and priority are all fed into a formula, given below, to determine the actual allocated size. All in all it’s an interesting system but the formula could be more straightforward and the defaults chosen above seen much too small for my tastes.
