Bug#347248: partman-lvm: Confusing message during LVM setup



Package: partman-lvm
Severity: normal

During LVM setup, the following message is displayed:

"After the Logical Volume Manager is configured, no additional changes
 to the partitions in the disks containing physical volumes are allowed.
 Please decide if you are satisfied with the current partitioning scheme
 in these disks before continuing."

This message is confusing, especially because the fact that 
no changes are allowed to the partition table only applies to
the installation process. Once the system is running, it *is*
for example possible to add new partitions in unallocated space.

I propose to change the message to

"After the Logical Volume Manager is configured, no additional changes
 to the partitions in the disks containing physical volumes can be made
 during the installation process. Please decide if you are satisfied
 with the current partitioning scheme in these disks before continuing.
 Additional partitions in the remaining free space can be created once
 the system is installed."
