I've just done a test installation of Beta 4 using
VMWare, configuring the system to use LVM for all but the / partition. A number
of problems were found:
1. I set up the (logical) partitions in the volume
group, and attempted to make the last partition smaller. I got the following
error message:
"Partitions sector #0 (3.9G) and
#0 (1G) overlapping"
No overlapping partitions appeared on the graphical
display!
2. I discovered that if you create a partition,
then resize it (to make it larger) the installer would allow you to resize it to
the full size of the volume group regardless of the presence of any existing
partitions. Not surprising vgextend complains when you try to do
this.
3. I also discovered that the installer would
sometimes allocate the last partition of the volume group to be 1 or 2 Mbytes
too large. Attempting to create a partition in this way results in a blank error
message appearing (pop-up box, no error message, just an OK button). Shrink the
partition by 1 or 2 Mbytes results in it being accepted.
