Hmm, installation onto LVM volumes worked fine for me with 5.04 (Hoary) on

Ubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy") preview released Posted Sep 9, 2005 14:04 UTC (Fri) by busterb (subscriber, #560) [Link] I always have to create a separate EXT2 /boot partition to run / on an LVM volume. GRUB/LILO seem to have trouble installing if I do not. Do they mean that a separate /boot partition is no longer required?

/boot on LVM with 5.04 Hoary works Posted Sep 9, 2005 22:19 UTC (Fri) by csamuel (✭ supporter ✭, #2624) [Link] My computer (and my laptop) would beg to differ there! Disk /dev/sda: 73.4 GB, 73406611456 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8924 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 8924 71681998+ 8e Linux LVM The trick is that Grub doesn't appear to be able to handle booting from an LVM'd /boot, but LILO can. In fact the installer took care of that decision for me. On the one system I've built with a /boot outside of LVM the installer used Grub. Even swap is on an LVM here. :-) Chris
/boot on LVM with 5.04 Hoary works Posted Sep 10, 2005 3:04 UTC (Sat) by busterb (subscriber, #560) [Link] I have never had that work when using 3Ware raid controllers. I think that LILO's functioning is somewhat controller-specific, though I never really analyzed it much.
/boot on LVM with 5.04 Hoary works Posted Sep 10, 2005 8:25 UTC (Sat) by csamuel (✭ supporter ✭, #2624) [Link] The working config I listed is with an Adaptec I2O style card and a RAID-5array.

The relevant change is in the *automatic* partitioning tool, where LVM functionality has been added (partman-auto-lvm, originally developed by Skolelinux).
Ubuntu 5.10 ("Breezy") preview released Posted Sep 9, 2005 22:25 UTC (Fri) by csamuel (✭ supporter ✭, #2624) [Link] Aha, that makes much more sense, I had to go in and use the advanced tool to set it up under Hoary. I find it's miles better than using the old primary/extended method, especially when you use XFS instead of ext2/3 so you can extend partitions whilst they're mounted and in use. I never allocate all my disk space up front these days, I find it's far easier to create LV's for projects on the fly and then either extend them if needed or delete them (and return them to the pool) when not.
