Public bug reported:
Upgrade to 6.06 64 bit from an upgraed 5.10->6.06 32 bit system, Shipped Live
CD's "Install" application does not recognize existing LVM volumes.
On OLD install, fstab looks like:
> === fstab BEGIN ===
/dev/mapper/System-Root / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/System-Home /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/System-VarData /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/System-Swap none swap sw 0 0
> === fstab END ===
The "Install" application's manual paritioning, recognises the existing /boot
volume and is able to retrieve info from it (used space), however other volumes
are visible in top left drop-down menu, but have an exclamation marks, and
doubleclicking on them, there is written, that information cannot be read from
it.
In next wizard frame, none of the System-* volumes are available; only two
volumes are visible the LVM "master" volume (/dev/sda2) and the /boot: /dev/sda1
Severity: Existing systems can not be upgraded without data loss.
This is a release bug.
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Untriaged
