I have an issue while i'm trying to automate the creation for my debian VM template. I tried to create a specific disk partitioning with lvm, everything goes on correctly. But after boot, I see that I have multiple unwanted partition on my machine.
# Disk Partitioning
# Use LVM, and wipe out anything that already exists
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
# The presently available methods are: "regular", "lvm" and "crypto"
d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-auto-lvm/guided_size string 100%
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \

# If one of the disks that are going to be automatically partitioned

d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true

This result with something like this :
~$ lsblk

sda 8:0 0 400M 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 132M 0 part /boot

└─datavg-opt 254:2 0 1,9G 0 lvm /opt
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
So my question are : Why are sda2, sda5, sdb1 and sdc1 partition are created and how to avoid it ?
Thank you.
