** Description changed:
I have been using kickstart servers for years. There were never
problems. For some time (it's hard to say since when - this year it
started) partitions are being created badly. My configuration is very
standard. For creating partitions I use the following scheme:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
- boot-root :: \
- 40 512 512 ext4 \
- $primary{ } $bootable{ } \
- method{ format } format{ } \
- use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
- mountpoint{ /boot } \
- . \
- 2048 10000 1000000000 ext4 \
- $lvmok{ } \
- method{ format } format{ } \
- use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \
- mountpoint{ / } \
- . \
- 1024 2000 100% linux-swap \
- $lvmok{ } \
- method{ swap } format{ } \
- .
+ boot-root :: \
+ 40 512 512 ext4 \
+ $primary{ } $bootable{ } \
+ method{ format } format{ } \
+ use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 } \

Below is the correct operation (from an older server)

Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary.
- Both servers have 32GB RAM. As you can see in the new installation, the
- swap partition is created in the smallest size.

For the test I reinstalled one of the servers from 16/04 to 16/04 and
after the reinstallation the situation is the same.

maybe something similar?
What other information can I provide?
