Public bug reported:
When I installed Gutsy from a server iso image, I chose LVM
partitioning. I messed about a bit in the partition setup, but couldn't
find a way to manually specify a set of LVM partitions to use, and
thought I'd fix it later. Unfortunately, Ubuntu divided the entire disk
into 1% swap, and 99% (187Gb) root. Since ext3 cannot be shrunk online,
and / cannot be unmounted, I need to reboot to fix this. I think it
would be much better if LVM defaulted to a more modest size for root,
since 1) file systems can grow online, and 2) LVM isn't particularly
useful if you only want a single partition anyway.
