[Bug 923552] Re: no way to create logical volume within lvm

[Colin Watson]

Hm, that's not what your most recent partman log indicates.  I couldn't
reproduce this in an alternate amd64 installation with a blank disk.

Since you can reproduce this in a VM, though, it should be a matter of
sufficiently exact instructions, so ...  Could I have exact directions
on how you're starting qemu, including the qemu-img command that creates
the disk, and the full qemu command line?

Title:
  no way to create logical volume within lvm

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've just reinstalled my laptop using the precise alternative amd64
  snapshot from 2012-01-27.  I wanted to repartition the disk, and then
  have an lv on a vg on lusk within a partition.

  I chose "guided install with encrypted lvm", and I got a luks
  partition with lvm inside it, but it didn't have any logical volumes.
  (So, the install could not proceed since there was no root partition.)

  I tried again in manual mode and hit the same problem: after the vg
  was created, I could see it in the partitioner menu, but I couldn't
  see any way to create an lv within it.  When I pressed enter on the
  pv, or anything connected to it, I was just told "this is in use by
  $device_name and cannot be edited". (I forget the exact name, it was
  something like 'crypt_sda5'.)
