#4483 [Ubuntu] partitionfile is not supported

[Arif Ali]

I have specified partitionfile for my osimage for ubuntu.

After doing a nodeset, none of the file in /install/autoinst showed the partitioning that I required. I tried to re-install the node, so see if there was anything else being done, but no luck.

Is this a known feature not to exist, or it should be working?

Arif, we were not able to work on this feature in 2.9.1, moving to 2.10.

HI Arif,

We have finished the Ubuntu partitionfile support in xCAT 2.10, if you pick up the latest development build http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/ubuntu/devel/core-debs-snap.tar.bz2, the support should already in this build. And you could refer to https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/wiki/Installing_Stateful_Linux_Nodes/#customize-the-disk-partitioning-optional for some sample Ubuntu partition layouts.
