Public bug reported:
This is a feature request/WISHLIST item.
It's pretty common (at least here) for us to format VM images with full-
disk ("whole disk") LVM. Normally we have to drop to a shell and
preconfigure that beforehand so I was super excited to see the new
"Whole Disk" option in the new-style installer.
However, it doesn't have "LVM Physical Partition" as an option. I'm
genuinely puzzled by this because I would think it's an extremely common
pattern. I must be wrong.
We would really appreciate it if the default installer supported whole-
disk LVM physical partition. Also, considering how different the
interface is, this might not even be a d-i request any more but it seems
likely.
To clarify, this is the installer equivalent of a 'pvcreate /dev/sdb',
whereas the current workflow only supports a 'pvcreate /dev/sdb1'.
Using full disk LVM PV's makes expansion of disk (either iSCSI, VMDK,
etc) trivial.
