I've hit this bug even tough I've applied the fix discussed in comment #6 of bug #964957.
Specifically I've built partman-auto-lvm_42ubuntu2+dannf2_all.udeb from the 38th revision of https://code.launchpad.net/~dannf/partman-auto-lvm /precise-fixes, and installed that udeb using an early command. I've also confimed that /bin/perform_recipe_by_lvm contains the update-dev --settle line. It happened for me just as in Sgifford reported, but with swap partition instead of root. I'm preseeding the partitioning. The workaround he suggested (running vgscan --mknodes) works for me too. ** Changed in: partman-auto-lvm (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000770 Title: In Ubuntu installer, LVM device nodes are not created in time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto-lvm/+bug/1000770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
