[Bug 527667] Re: Uses separate /boot and ext2 for automatic partioning with LVM and GRUB2

[Phillip Susi]

Just noticed this myself.  We don't need a separate /boot partition (
I've never used one on my manually setup lvm installs ), and it adds
unneeded complexity.  It certainly shouldn't be using ext2.

Title:
  Uses separate /boot and ext2 for automatic partioning with LVM and
  GRUB2

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: partman-auto

  Hi

  Automatic partitioning of the hard disk for use with root on LVM and
  GRUB2 with the lucid alpha 3 netboot image will create a /boot ext2
  partition a / ext4 partition.  I found it surprizing that ext2 is
  still picked up here -- why not ext4 as well?  Also, do we really need
  a /boot partition with GRUB2?

  (Size of the hard disk was modest at 1.5 GB; not sure whether that
  plays a role)

  Thanks,
