Processor: i7-3740QM
Memory: 16 GB
HD: ~760GB
Initial boot: [OK ]
Detect network card: [ OK]
Configure network: [OK ]
Detect hard drives: [OK ]
Partition hard drives: [ ERROR]
Problems:
Manual partition of LVM on DMCRYPT (nothing exceptional).
Final formatting stops with the error 'File not found /dev/mapper/vg0-lv-archive2'.
Partial fix: using just LV lv-root and lv-swap and leave the other space empty allows to successfully terminate the install.
=== Failed trials: Manual Partitioning ===
* 30 GB /sda1 => ext4 /boot [OK]
* 730 GB dm-crypt (default crypto settings, AES, key=256, ...), write zeros (1.5 hours) and create /sda5_crypt [no errors]
* format /sda5_crypt format ext4 [no errors]
* LVM: assigning volume group vg0 to /sda5_crypt [no errors]
* LVM: creating logical volumes: lv-root (150GB), lv-swap (30GB), lv-data (150GB), lv-archive (300GB), lv-archive2 (100GB) [no errors]
* preparing partition table: lv-root (ext4), lv-swap (swap), lv-data (ext4), lv-archive (ext4) lv-archive2(ext4) and finishing (trying to format):
I got "Error: Cannot find file /dev/mapper/vg0-lv-archive2" and it was impossible to proceed
2 days after I restarted the install (without zero writing) and got the same error, but
Empting lv-archive2, deleting the logical volume lv-archive2 and finishing the partition table seemed to fix the error: system install followed but I stopped it.
=== Escape: Manual Partitioning ===
Then I restarted once more and install worked flawlessly with just lv-root and lv-swap:
* 30 GB /sda1 => ext4 /boot [OK]
* 730 GB dm-crypt (default crypto settings, AES, key=256, ...), write zeros (1.5 hours) and create /sda5_crypt [no errors]
* format /sda5_crypt format ext4 [no errors]
* LVM: assigning volume group vg0 to /sda5_crypt [no errors]
* LVM: creating logical volumes: lv-root (150GB), lv-swap (30GB),
* preparing partition table: lv-root (ext4), lv-swap (swap) and finishing: [no errors]
... install completed flawlessy :)
Hope this can help.
