Bug#822416: Install LVM with Free PE

[Geert Stappers <stappers@stappers.nl>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Where I can understand the service to the user for presenting her the whole disks,
it feels wrong to do this also for LVM installs.


Explaining:

Guided partitioning with seperate /var and /home, makes big /home partitions.

Guided partitioning with seperate /var/ and /home on LVM,
assigns all remaining Physical Extents to the /home file system.
Probably due thinking in partitions.

After installs with Logical Volumes,
I start with reducing the size of the /home FS to get P.E. available,
to create /srv/ file systems.

During install I have been waiting on creation of the too big /home.


Wish:

The guided LVM install creates only a small /home f.s.


Benefits:
- faster install due quick `mkfs /home`
- having PE available for extra filesystems,
  most likely the reason for using LVM
