Bug#591277: debian-installer: Root LV created awfully small
Package: debian-installer
Version: d-i
Severity: minor
I picked the netinst iso and installed Squeeze this weekend into a
virtual machine (VirtualBox) using an 8 GB virtual hard drive. I decided
to use LVM with seperate /home LV and had d-i decide on the LV sizes. d-i
chose the size of the root LV to be about 2 GB, giving me just enough
rope to hang myself. It ran out of disk space when I tried to install GNOME.
This is of course my fault (I should have checked the LV sizes d-i
suggested) but some sanity checks on LV / partition size would
nevertheless make sense.
Best regards
Jan
