Package: partman Version: 34 Tags: d-i Severity: normal I did an install, from usb key, on a system that has an existing Debian install, using LVM. That system had a few GB of free space on the disk, which I told partman to autopartition. Before I did this, partman had listed the lvm partition as type lvm. After the autopartitioning, that partition was displayed with no indication of its type. I continued (this first time I did not notice this change), and the result was that the lvm paritition was not touchs, but its type was set to linux from lvm. This made the lvm tools unable to use it until the type was fixed. If I use partman and do not autopartition free space, it does not mess with the type of the lvm partition. I have attached the partman log. In this partman log, I first autopartitioned the free space and reproduced the problem. Then I did an undo, and manually made the root partition for the install. I will only have access to this machine for a few more days, so please ask for any other needed info quickly if possible. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- see shy jo
