Server autoinstall: How to customise storage section?
First time through I went through manual install. Then you will find /var/log/installer
has yaml files that can be used as a template for the actual autoinstall.yaml
that you want. This is what I then constructed to replace Debian installer preseed with aoutinstall.
storage:
config:
- grub_device: true
id: disk-sda
path: /dev/sda
ptable: gpt
type: disk
wipe: superblock-recursive
- device: disk-sda
flag: bios_grub
id: partition-0
number: 1
size: 1048576
type: partition
- device: disk-sda
id: partition-1
number: 2
size: -1
type: partition
wipe: superblock
- fstype: ext4
id: format-0
type: format
volume: partition-1
- device: format-0
id: mount-0
path: /
type: mount

By following instructionf from here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls#Running_a_truly_automatic_autoinstall When I use for storage:
storage: layout: name: lvm
It creates root parttition with 4GB and doesn't create swap. When I use direct layout
storage: layout: name: direct
It creates root partition with full space available on disk and also creates swap. Is there any way to see how it is configured layout direct and modify that configuration to adjust my needs? I mean with action based config like is documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/AutomatedServerInstalls/ConfigReference#storage
I mean something like following:
storage: grub: install_devices: - esp-partition swap: filename: swap.img size: 4GB config: - type: disk id: disk0 ptable: gpt wipe: superblock grub_device: true match: size: largest - id: esp-partition # create partitions on disk (like sda1) type: partition device: disk0 size: 512MB flag: boot # EFI system partition needs boot flag - type: partition id: boot-partition device: disk0 size: 1GB - type: partition device: disk0 id: root-partition size: -1 - id: esp-partition-fs # format partitions on disk type: format volume: esp-partition fstype: fat32 label: ESP - id: boot-partition-fs type: format fstype: ext4 volume: boot-partition - id: root-partition-fs type: format fstype: ext4 volume: root-partition - id: esp-partition-fs-mount # mount partitions type: mount device: esp-partition-fs path: /boot/efi - id: root-partition-fs-mount type: mount path: / device: root-partition-fs - id: boot-partition-fs-mount type: mount path: /boot device: boot-partition-fs
Above configuration SUCCESS pass FileSystem step but FAIL on initramfs step of cloud-init configuration. Like on screenshot I would like to know storage configuration for direct layout so I can adjust my configuration above, or if someone know to help me how to fix above configuration so step initramfs pass?
