windows_partition_size doesn't work since 4.0.6.1-3 - Solved

[bourhis]

Hi,

I have upgraded the opsi products yesterday and when try to install "win6-x64", the "windows_partition_size" parameter doesn't work : I put 70% but it use 100 % of the disk !
Is-it a bug or have I miss something ?

Best regards.

hi,

just a precision : if I replace the "setup.py" by the previous one (from 4.0.6.1-2), that's resolved my problem.

Hello bourhis,

could you have a lookt at the bootimage.log of the client and check wether there is a message showing that it is not calculated correctly / an error occurs?


With kind regards

Hi,

I don't find significative errors, only the same that I have seen in the bootimage.log generated with the previous version of "setup.py"...
If I boot with srcd before the "windows" installation, I see strictly the same disk partitionement (sfdisk -l command) :

Disk /dev/sda: 60801 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units: cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 0+ 42076- 42077- 337979392 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 * 42076+ 42586- 510- 4096000 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
/dev/sda4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty

Would-you like that I mail you the bootimage.log files ?

Best regards.

Hi,

I opened an internal ticket for this.

For me there is currently no need for a log. We may come back to you later.


With kind regards

Hi,

I could not reproduce this issue.
Could you please try this one:
http://download.uib.de/opsi4.0/experime ... 6.2-1.opsi
And if the problem is still there send me the complete bootimag.log to d.oertel(at)uib.de
with reference to this thread.

I still think every thing is correct:
You have:
data_partition_create = false
windows_partition_size = 70%
488386584 Blocks on disk

What you get is:

488386584 Blocks on disk
- 337979392 Blocks on sda1 (70%)
- 4096000 Blocks on winpe
= 146311192 Free blocks

If you want the free blocks as data partition, you have to switch: data_partition_create = true

Use 'data_partition_create = false' if you want to have free Space for an other OS-Installation.

Did I miss anything ?

hi,

you see the same thing as me (like I wrote in my precedent post) : after the linux process (setup.py), the partition table is OK, but after the windows installation the "free" partition has disapeared (N.B. : I put the 'data_partition_create' to false) !
If I replace the file 'setup.py' by an older one, windows don't modify the partition table.
There is a change in the "setup.py" file which resulted in this problem ...

Best regards.

[bourhis]

N.B. : if I put "data_partition_create" to "True", windows don't modify the initial partition table.

[bourhis]

I found the 2 lines to be modified in the "setup.py" file to fix the problem : the lines 889 and 890

Code: Alles auswählen

                print >> f, "select partition %d\r" % (winpePartitionNumber - 1)
                print >> f, "extend\r"

If I comment them, the partition table is not modified by Windows.
