Hi all! To me it looks like a bug, but I'd like to show it to the list before filing it as a bug. My goal is to install debian testing using encrypted LVM, but not using the entire disk: I want to keep a free partition for installing vista (for educational purposes...). So, the steps that create a problem while running the installer are: select Manual partitioning create on the disks free space, the first primary (for installing vista) [this step may be irrelevant] create primary for /boot create primary and select 'use as encryption volume' write changes to disk select encrypted volume use as phycical volume for lvm configure Logical Volume Manager appears ->select it create volume group create logical volume -> for the root filesystem create logical volume -> for swap finish partitioning and write changes to disk-> I see the summary: "The partition tables of the following devices are changed: LVM VG vg1, LV rootFS LVM VG vg1, LV swap The following partitions are going to be formatted: LVM VG vg1, LV rootFS as ext3 LVM VG vg1, LV swap as swap " -> failed to create a file system The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of LVM VG vg1, LV rootFS failed As I can see, /dev/mapper now contains: vg1-rootFS vg1-rootFSp1 vg1-swap vg1-swapp1 Is this supposed to happen? Did I do something wrong? Giorgos
