Title:
  using default encrypted LVM settings with 1.5 TB disk makes huge swap
  space

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 8.04 Alternate AMD64 installation on system with 1.5 TB
  3ware HW RAID 5 setup.

  Selected auto partition using encrypted LVM. Installation proceeded
  normally.

  Upon reboot I find installer created an LVM swap area of 499 GB with
  the remainder going to LVM ROOT.

  This is a big waste of space and time since there is no display of final configs to check prior to going through the
  rest of the install.

  I've used encrypted LVM setup just fine with default settings on my other systems but they all have relatively
  small disks. I'm guessing that the large disk area is causing math problems in the installer.

  I've gone through this twice on my system to confirm that I wasn't imagining it. I was able to use manual partitioning
  and setup a reasonable system with 64 GB swap so there is a work around.
