The issue here isn't so much the absolute space initially allocated to the /boot/ LV, it is that the installer allocates 100% of the Volume Groups space.
The great advantage of LVM is that space can by dynamically allocated and removed from Logical Volumes as needed. If the installer were to leave 5% of the Volume Group unallocated it would be possible for the system to detect this out-of-space condition and extend the /boot/ LV: lvextend -l 50%FREE VG/boot resize2fs /dev/mapper/VG-boot # assuming ext file-system and at the same time display a prominent warning and options for automatically removing the superseded kernel versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1357093 Title: LVM or Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
