[Feature Request] Make partition selector LVM aware

joepalma opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

I have a laptop with a slow sata bus but two drives, so I use a stripped LVM setup to bring it up to speed. I understand why the installer doesn't do this for the user, because striped drives double your risk on disk failure.

But I'm willing to set up LVM for myself in the terminal, and take that risk. It would be nice if the installer would show those logical volumes I set up.

Just to clarify. The installer does support the creation of a new LVM but doesn't recognize and allow you to use an existing one, correct?

It's been a few months since I tried to install it, but yes, that was the situation. The select partition screen
showed only EFI partition.

How did you go over and solved your issue?

I didn’t, I stuck with Arch on that laptop.

For clarification - the installer only supports creating LVM partitions if you erase the entire disk. Currently there is no way to use LVM with Solus if you don't want to use the entire disk (or completely reconfigure it after the fact)
