Public bug reported:
Hello,
I recently installed Ubuntu 19.10 on x64 from the netboot image (though this
has been an issue for me for a long while).
Basically what I would like to achieve is to get a recommended partition layout
_template_ during installation which I am able to fine-tune for my needs. In
this recent example of mine the Guided encrypted LVM script reserved roughly
500MB for EFI and 700MB for /boot on a relatively small 32GB disk which are way
too conservative for me (space used on EFI is 8MB - 1.6%! - not expected to
grow any further!; space used on /boot about 150MB - 21% -, roughly 70MB/kernel
at the time of writing so theoretically 300MB should give enough headroom for
the next couple of years). This results in nearly 1GB of space lost on an
already limited capacity drive.
Though the problem is if one runs the Guided partitioning script
(especially the encrypted LVM one) there is no easy way to modify the
partition layout. The encrypted and LVM-root partitions cannot be
deleted, moved or resized after the Guided partitioning option was
chosen. I believe it would increase the user experience of linux
installation a lot by making it a lot less worrisome if the partitioning
scheme was more flexible and could be fine-tuned more easily during
installation.
Cheers.
