* The same GUI problems as discussed in InstallerVolumeManagement, needs to be addressed. The GUI system from RH was still buggy in the last round test and a new round test needs to be performed when upstream will release a new version publically. |

DapperInstallerVolumeManagement
Status
Created: 2005-11-02 by FabioMassimoDiNitto
Priority: MediumPriority
- Packages: partman-auto-lvm, partman-auto
Note for Reviewers
The main implementation is already in breezy. This spec is to recollect the bits that needs to be polished/tested in Dapper. For all the rationale and cosmetic bits please see InstallerVolumeManagement (that are not up for discussion since already approved at UDU).
Implementation Plan
- Import new upstream version from Debian that is our version plus extra bug fixing.
As discussed on debian-boot mailing list, patch partman-auto recipes to tag partitions that can or cannot be on lvm volumes. (http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/10/msg00842.html)
- Modify partman-auto-lvm (pal from now on) to parse the new recipes tag (that as a consequence will increase portability across architecture)

- Remove size calculation hack from breezy (as discussed on debian-boot mailing list)
XXX:URL? --smurf XXX: at the same URL as above? -- fabbione
- Enable pal (partman-auto-lvm) on ppc.
- Test all of the above.
- profit. Estimated working time from 3 to 8 days.
Packages Affected
partman-auto-lvm
partman-auto
- probably more
Outstanding Issues
- pal could not be enabled on breezy because parted upstream did not support lvm.
- We were offering the option to use all the freespace on all devices to create lvm volumes. This option was too buggy and removed from upstream.
The same GUI problems as discussed in InstallerVolumeManagement, needs to be addressed.
The GUI system from RH was still buggy in the last round test and a new round test needs to be performed when upstream will release a new version publically. XXX:What about other tasks in InstallerVolumeManagement, like for instance the user interface part, which still seem to be open? Please mention the tasks from IVM which are out-of-scope here, so that people know what's going on and are not confused about the tasks' status. --smurf XXX:Addressed with the above comment -- fabbione
