Public bug reported:
Installing Ubuntu Gnome here, I realized that the encrypted LVM setup
that the installer is offering is very limited, if not deficient.
- Choosing the automated LVM setup with encryption, user has no chance
to define sizes of swap or create a separate /home (Which maybe ok for
newbies but leave all customization wishes behind)
- Choosing a manual partitioning, one can create a LVM Volume Group but has no
chance to create multiple LV inside that VG. Only possibility to create one
volume that spans over the entire VG. What if I want a volume for swap in that
VG? And what if I want a separate /home volume? That entire setup has to be
create after installation, which creates a lot of manual work and is not
trivial.
- Choosing to install Ubuntu using an existing, encrypted LVM (over-writing
and existing installation) is also not straightforward: First, the installer
offers no way to unlock an existing LVM. Second, if I use the tools of the
LiveCD to unlock my existing LVM, the installer does not see it as an encrypted
LVM and the system will not boot after installation. One has to chroot into the
installation, install the tools needed for LVM, and so on.
Shouldn't creation of several, user-defined LV in an LVM be supported?
And shouldn't the installer support installation in an existing LVM?
True, nothing of this is for newbies, but even a bit more advanced users
are left behind.
