[Bug 1060383] Re: Ubiquity detects LVM and LUKS devices as "unknown"

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

First bug: no way to activate existing lvm/luks partitions. Workaround
start a live session and assemble those by hand (double clicking on the
disk icon).

Second bug: "Ideally it would allow side by side as well as recovery
options (such as reinstall while preserving /home)."  is a duplicate of
bug 1046779 and it is "WON'T FIX", as automatic partitioning recipes in
these case are ambigious (do you want side-by-side inside crypt, inside
lvm, resize lvm volumes or add new volumes. And some of these operations
are currently not supported by the underlying partitioning technology -
partman.)

Title:
  Ubiquity detects LVM and LUKS devices as "unknown"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In 12.10 Beta 2 Ubiquity offers to preform an installation using LVM
  (with encrypted option). Unfortunately it does not give the ability to
  recover a current LVM system. Under the "Something Else" disk
  formatting selection, it sees my encrypted LVM as well as my LUKS
  partition as "unknown".

  Ideally it would allow side by side as well as recovery options (such
  as reinstall while preserving /home).
