This appears in the d-i of Ubuntu Jaunty when preseeding with:
### Partitioning # If the system has free space you can choose to only partition that space. # Alternatives: custom, some_device, some_device_crypto, some_device_lvm. d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select biggest_free # Alternatively, you can specify a disk to partition. The device name must # be given in traditional non-devfs format. # Note: A disk must be specified, unless the system has only one disk. # For example, to use the first SCSI/SATA hard disk: #d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda # In addition, you'll need to specify the method to use. # The presently available methods are: "regular", "lvm" and "crypto" #d-i partman-auto/method string regular
If we so much as uncomment this line, then it is implied that the above setting of “biggest_free” is moot (US meaning) and we want to use the entire disk. If there is only one disk in the system, it will be overwritten without warning. |
