Unless I'm reading the hdsize option wrong (only use this size leave the rest unpartioned) then this isn't the behaviour I would expect.

I'm planning to install on an SSD and leave enough room for 2 ceph journal partitions.
Size is 200GB - no matter what I set the hdsize option to it always creates sda3 as the largest remaining amount

I specified a HDSIZE of 60 and this is what it does:

`-sda3 8:3 0 199.9G 0 part

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
fd0 2:0 1 4K 0 disk
sda 8:0 0 200G 0 disk
|-sda1 8:1 0 1007K 0 part
|-sda2 8:2 0 127M 0 part
`-sda3 8:3 0 199.9G 0 part
|-pve-root 252:0 0 10G 0 lvm /
|-pve-swap 252:1 0 4G 0 lvm [SWAP]
`-pve-data 252:2 0 38.5G 0 lvm /var/lib/vz

Which means I have no space left to create my journals.
I've played with all other sizes and no matter what - sda3 is always 199.9G with various different LVM sizes below.

I would expect if I specify 170 as hdsize something similar to above but with sda3 being 169.9G

Am I reading this parameter wrong? I would prefer to use the installer and not have to go jessie -- pve route.

Thanks

Same behaviour with the 3.x installers (just never noticed).
i guess I am reading the installers intentions incorrectly.

so its ye olde pmagic iso to the rescue...
 
Have you tried enter numbers in "MaxVZ" and "MinFree" under "Options" after you select your hard drive during the installer?
