Machine: laptop HP EliteBook 8570w Mobile Workstation refs: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults/?lang=en&cc=us&sp4ts.oid=5257502 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. ric
