Public bug reported: Hello,
According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage#When_installing_Ubuntu_.28or_Derivatives.29 bugs in the installer (of Ubuntu Server) need to be reported against the package debian-installer. I got a weird partitioning setup after having done a manual partitioning. I created one primary partition for the root/slash partition (with 10GB) and two extended partitions tagged as Linux LVM. Partition table: Disk /dev/sda: 1799.8 GB, 1799798437888 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 218813 cylinders, total 3515231324 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 262144 bytes / 786432 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00021c16 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1536 19531775 9765120 83 Linux /dev/sda2 19533310 3515229695 1747848193 5 Extended Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. /dev/sda5 19533312 117187583 48827136 8e Linux LVM /dev/sda6 117189120 3515229695 1699020288 8e Linux LVM As you can see, /dev/sda5 has a size of around 50GB. /dev/sda6 fills up the rest of the disk (which is around 1.7TB) I then created the Volume Groups vgsystem and lxc in the installer. For vgsystem I chose the PV /dev/sda5 and to my big surprise the installer took a size of 1.6TB instead of the 50GB (which is the size of the partition). I deleted and recreated the VG/PV but this bug could be reproduced all the time. Here the pvdisplay output: --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda6 VG Name lxc PV Size 1.58 TiB / not usable 3.50 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 414799 Free PE 401487 Allocated PE 13312 PV UUID zxwiIK-7n6s-RAEx-F4OT-5FIf-ybzd-ptkbMR --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda5 VG Name system PV Size 1.63 TiB / not usable 3.00 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 426720 Free PE 418138 Allocated PE 8582 PV UUID iI5MtU-09e5-cfC7-aHVk-NIgv-Ei5n-pu4M5O ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: debian-installer (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.47-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Jun 3 14:47:36 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-22 (163 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) MachineType: HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 MemoryUsage: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 32907380 5925376 26982004 1116 291140 3904188 -/+ buffers/cache: 1730048 31177332 Swap: 15622140 0 15622140 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=c91d09d0-ebbb-4c3f-92bd-722f2801de39 ro SourcePackage: debian-installer UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 12/20/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: HP dmi.bios.version: P70 dmi.chassis.type: 23 dmi.chassis.vendor: HP dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHP:bvrP70:bd12/20/2013:svnHP:pnProLiantDL380pGen8:pvr:cvnHP:ct23:cvr: dmi.product.name: ProLiant DL380p Gen8 dmi.sys.vendor: HP ** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325971 Title: Wrong LVM pv size by using installer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1325971/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
