Bug#513924: lvmcfg: Physical Extent (PE) size too small
Package: installation-reports
Severity: important
Debian-installer-version:
Debian Lenny RC1
The default PE size is too small (4MB) for some use when creating
volume groups (VG) with debian-installer.
If you're dealing with large amounts of data, it is highly
suggested to go for a larger extent size for performance reasons.
32MB is the default for RHEL and CentOS installers but the user has
the possibility to choose another size.
For this reason, I have to create volume groups from command line with
the "-s 32M" option of vgcreate.
Regards,
Laurent
