I've just tested 4.0~beta2+experimental48, and this has solved the "LVM on entire disk" issue :) Great work ! (I'll send you the output logs by PM as requested.) Bests Mât

Mika, it seems we have a proper fix for #606113 - I'll see what needs to merged into trunk and then you could just cherry-pick for 3.4.6. I'll try to get that done in the next hours as I'll be offline until Tuesday. Best regards and many thanks everyone, Michael pgpCmcSCn7slj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: setup-storage fails when preserving LVM volume
I hope to have addressed all the above problems in
4.0~beta2+experimental48.
Could you please give that one another try and report back? Could you
please
even send debug logs in case it works fine? As said in the other
thread just
moments ago, I'm trying to to a bit of cleanup work as well.
This new version does fix the issue, thanks. I send you the format.log
in a private mail.
Well well, I finally happen to have another problem with this new
version, setup-storage prints the following sentence and then quits quickly:
Executing: mdadm --examine --scan --verbose -c partitions
Previous partitions overflow begin of preserved partition /dev/sda2
I tried several values for the /local volume, but always get the same
message. Here's the debug format.log, which happens to be pretty short.

Hello Michael, Executing: mdadm --examine --scan --verbose -c partitions Previous partitions overflow begin of preserved partition /dev/sda2 I tried several values for the /local volume, but always get the same message.

The /boot partition has be built by FAI 3.3.5 (setup-storage 1.2.1), asking for a size of 512 like I still do now. The parted command was the following: parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 32256B 534643199B The installation does not work better after setting the size of /boot to 511, the log is exactly the same as with 512.

What you actually got with the above command was a partition with a size of 509.844 MiB; to retain precisely that size use 522081K as size specifier; otherwise go for 509, which will give you a gap of approximately 0.8MB. > The installation does not work better after setting the size of > /boot to 511, the log is exactly the same as with 512.
