Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 14.04LTS
I'm experimenting with LVM mirroring feature.
1. In VM I have two physical disks: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb
2. I've created two PV (physical volumes) based on these disks:
user:~$ sudo pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda1
VG Name vg
PV Size 8.00 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB
Allocatable yes (but full)
PE Size 4.00 MiB
Total PE 2047
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 2047
PV UUID Jswylr-H08n-PIw5-1GYR-HDYV-qL6h-2rFqMb
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb1
VG Name vg
PV Size 8.00 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB
Allocatable yes (but full)
PE Size 4.00 MiB
Total PE 2047
Free PE 0
Allocated PE 2047
PV UUID YLRwrP-oKtY-wEMl-fHbG-ezfQ-GMPj-HI8iPe
3. Then I've created VG (volume group) and 2 mirrored (--type raid1)
logical volumes (LVs)
user:~$ sudo vgdisplay
--- Volume group ---

4. Now we have 2 LVs available for filesystem creation and so on, and 8
hidden subLVs, representing parts of mirrored LVs
user:~$ sudo lvs -a

[vg_swap_rmeta_0] vg ewi-aor--- 4.00m
[vg_swap_rmeta_1] vg ewi-aor--- 4.00m
5. Now disk structure is prepared and we can start Ubuntu installation.
Everything goes usual way, but at partitioning step we see:

Configure the Logical Volume Manager
Configure encrypted volumes

As we see all the LVs are enlisted: mirrored LVs and subLVs that
contained inside.
It doesn't affect installation process but I think that subLVs at thus
step should be hidden.
