[xen-tools-discuss] Installing Debian with multiple partitions

[Antoine Benkemoun]

I'm having some problem with the --partitions option. I have created the
following partitions file :

------------
[root]
size=5G
type=ext3
mountpoint=/
options=sync,errors=remount-ro

[swap]
size=1G
type=swap

[home]
size=5G
type=xfs
mountpoint=/home
options=defaults

[tmp]
size=1G
type=xfs
mountpoint=/tmp
options=defaults

[usr]
size=5G
type=xfs
mountpoint=/usr
options=defaults

[var]
size=5G
type=xfs
mountpoint=/var
options=defaults

[data]
size=10G
type=xfs
mountpoint=/data
options=defaults
------------

When I try to create the creation, its give me the following error :

Use of uninitialized value $lines[0] in substitution (s///) at
/usr/share/perl5/Config/IniFiles.pm line 614.
Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/share/perl5/Config/IniFiles.pm line 628.
The root partition was not specified.

Perl version :
xen1:~/scripts# perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

I don't know Perl at all, therefore I have no idea what could be causing
such a bizarre error.

Thank you in advance for your help,

Antoine
