Title:
  LVM on Disk and Having to reinstall, CRASH

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Trying to use LVM with LITTLE success.

  Ubuntu is Friendlier than Fedora for what I want to do, including
  allowing LVM to be allowed across all disc types installed in the
  system.  (4 devices all running under LVM installed AT BOOT time - not
  after -- Ubuntu will ONLY install LVM at boot on ONE Device.)

  When LVM installed under Fedora - Ubuntu hangs on install going from
  Erase and Reinstall to Disk Selected Install.  The only way out of
  this is to get back in Fedora and restore normal partitions.

  Fedora had removed the partitioning on the Boot device, but an LVM
  partition existing on a second disc.  I tried reinstalling Ubuntu, and
  I got this crash

  LVM across all versions of Linux, so long as all are of the same
  version of LVM, SHOULD NOT MATTER WHO CREATED IT OR WHAT ITS NAME IS -
  THE Linux being booted should understand and USE it if present

  Fedora is more advanced in this area as a LVM created under Ubuntu
  appears to be FULLY usuable by Fedora

  Ubuntu 14.10 64bit

  Please fix this so that reinstalls are easier
