Give a minimum size (2GB) of swap area through lvm method

[Sumit Sharma]

While building Ubuntu_16.04 image through packer, I have to do partitioning in preseed file such that the method used is LVM and the minimum size of swap area must be 2GB. Currently, the VM is giving the swap area same as the size of the RAM given as input. If RAM is 1GB , the swap area created by default is also 1GB. This I have to change and put it minimum to 2GB.

 Current Pressed file-

d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string                       \
    boot-root ::                                            \

                    $primary{ } $bootable{ }                \
                    method{ format } format{ }              \
                    use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    \
                    mountpoint{ /boot }                     \
            .                                               \
            50000 10000 1000000000 ext3                     \
                    lv_name{ root }                         \
                    method{ lvm } format{ }                 \
                    use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }    \
                    mountpoint{ / }                         \
                    $lvmok{ }                               \
            .                                               \
            2148 512 200% linux-swap                        \
                    lv_name{ swap }                         \
                    method{ swap } format{ }                \
                    $lvmok                                  \
            .
d-i     partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i     partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i     partman/confirm boolean true
d-i     partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true

This code is not working to restrict swap size to minimum of 2GB.

Hello

Are you using a server iso? some non-server issues doesn't honor some of the configurations options.

It seems more a ubuntu question rather than packer, perhaps you can try reach canonical?

I am using a server iso. I will ask it on ubuntu forums then.
