Package: partman-lvm Severity: important Tags: d-i d-i now creates aligned partitons (at least for msdos disk labels), using a 1MiB granularity.
Unfortunately, d-i is letting LVM2 use its default metadata size for the PVs, which is 192KiB. This causes the first usable PE to be out-of-aligment on anything but 64KiB and smaller stripes (and erase blocks). The end result is that LVs are created out-of-alignment, and thus anything that uses that LV will also be out-of-alignment. Please force pvcreate to alocate enough metadata to align the first PE to a 1MiB boundary, to match what the d-i partitioner is doing. Note: it would be better if we could tell d-i what target to align for (for partitions, LVM PVs *and* filesystems), which would allow one to waste less space to alignment. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32.21 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
