Package: partman-auto-lvm
Version: 13
Severity: wishlist
I am not even sure if it's a goal for partman to replace autopartkit.
But if so, it should support atleast the same features.
I wish for a partition type in the recipes called free_space. if you
want partman to leave some space available in the volume group after
creating the logical volumes, you could add a freespace partition with
$lvmok tag. and partman would calculate space for it, but not create a
logical volume, effectivly leaving it free.
There migth be more logical ways to do this, but i imagine this would be
easy to implement.
Reason for this wish is, that it's easy to online resize a filesystem
when you grow it, but you need to unmount to reduce it. And one of the
great things of LVM is that you can assign the space you need now, and
leave room for growth when you need it.
But most importantly, becouse autopartkit supports it.
One Could argue that the time would be better spent on making online
partition reduction work. but that's a different package.

A solution for this has been introduced years ago in the form of a new
dialog as
_Description: Amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning:
You may use the whole volume group for guided partitioning, or part of
it.
If you use only part of it, or if you add more disks later, then you
will
be able to grow logical volumes later using the LVM tools, so using a
smaller part of the volume group at installation time may offer more
flexibility.
So closing this bug.
