disk partitioning (again)

Hmm, setup-storage does have a man page, but it may be hard to distill that
particular aspect. I'll try to produce a suitable config below. I'm not quite
sure about the sizes, made a guess there.

disk_config sda preserve_always:1
primary -     0       -     -
logical /     35G     ext3  rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
logical swap  1500M   swap  rw    

There are several options to make this more generic, like using disk1 instead of
sda or introducing ranges instead of fixes sizes. Yet hopefully this helps to
clarify the basic question.

Best,
Michael
