| Message-ID | <GWruh-3kGG-17@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Package: partman-auto-lvm Severity: normal With a bookworm 12.0 netinst image: when choosing guided partitioning -> set up LVM, it is now allowed to use binary units for volume group size (MiB, GiB, ...), but the size is wrongly calculated. For example, if I choose a volume group of 12 GiB, I get one with 11,9 GB, but it should be roughly 12,9 GB. Using the manual way of configuring (so not guided partitioning, but manual), it works correctly.

AFAICS, the only possible choice is to restrict the VG use to a given size or percentage. 2) How do you see the VG size ? I tested guided LVM with all in one partition and restrict the VG used size to 12 GiB and I get a root LV of 11.9 GB and a swap LV of 1 GB, so a total use of 12.9 GB as expected. vgs shows 12 GiB used.

It is displayed in the next dialog (partition overview screen). > I tested guided LVM with all in one partition and restrict the VG used > size to 12 GiB and I get a root LV of 11.9 GB and a swap LV of 1 GB, so > a total use of 12.9 GB as expected. vgs shows 12 GiB used. I wasn't aware of that concept, that the value I enter gets divided into several volume groups (here: root and swap). But that of course makes sense. (I don't use LVM usually, so no experience with it; I just did a test regarding to bug#684128 "src:debian-installer: allow use of binary units in disk partitioner"). Sorry for the noise, my fault.
