[Bug 1969822] Re: failed storage configuration at install of ubuntu-22.04-server

[Pushpendra Kumar]

Yes, I can reproduce this issue with Ubuntu 22.04.2 server. I'm trying
to create VG over two disks. And same problem is happening that after
creating VG I cannot create not LVM partition as a standard partition is
required for '/boot'.

And if I go back before creation VG step, then I can select a disk as
boot device, then installer automatically creates this partition with
mount point '/boot'. But then problem is that I cannot select this disk
to form VG with another disk. As only one disk shows in VG creation
view.

So, I'm left with only option is that:
1) Choose 1 disk as boot disk, and then I can create GPT partitions only on this disk.
2) On second disk I can create VG, and then I can create LV's. But there is no point as I need remaining portion of first disk too in this VG.

So, I can give you logs or other stuff, what you need to fix this issue.

So far, I have ready few comments, I will read rest and reply/response
later accordingly.

  failed storage configuration at install of ubuntu-22.04-server

Bug description:
  when booting a new VM using the ubuntu-22.04-live-server-amd64.iso
  file (VMWare), and following the installer options, I went for a
  "Custom storage layout", because I had 3 disks and wanted to use disk1
  (/dev/sda) as main disk (mounted in /), disk2 (/dev/sdb) mounted under
  /var/lib, and disk3 (/dev/sdc) mounted under /srv.

  After formatting all devices and specifying mount points, the system
  does not allow me to move on, saying "To continue you need to: Select
  a boot disk

  However there is nothing I can do to select one! (the option to "Use
  As Boot Device" is greyed out).

  If I start again fresh and choose the first disk (/dev/sda) and
  instead of "Format" I go for "Use As Boot Device", the system (again)
  does not allow me to move on, saying "To continue you need to: Mount a
  filesystem at /" (now the option "Stop Using As Boot Device" is greyed
  out).

  Hence, in summary, this is very confusing. It is not clear what the
  installer expects (e.g. how to do things right), and there are no
  hints provided.
