Weird procedure... Does this mean lvmconfig is unable to handle partitions
and partman is unable to handle volumes? The latter is logical, since
volumes
are an extension to the classical partitions, but it would appear
advantageous
to me if the partitions can be handled by lvmconfig as well, avoiding
elaborate procedures as the above... In my opinion the installer should
feature a classical partitioner and provide optional support for lvm within
this partitioner. The need to switch between two different tools is not very
user(or admin)-friendly.
