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
