Bug Description
Binary package hint: partman-lvm
During installation, when configuring a number of LVM volumes, they are displayed as in the attached screenshot:
LVM VG Raid, LV Home - 80.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 80.0 GB f ext4 /home
LVM VG Raid, LV Home_Manager - 20.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 20.0 GB f ext4 /home/manager
LVM VG Raid, LV Root_Maverick - 15.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 15.0 GB f ext4 /
LVM VG Raid, LV Swap - 4.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 4.0 GB f swap swap
LVM VG Raid, LV Var_Maverick - 10.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 10.0 GB f ext4 /var
I think this is illogical because:
* an LVM volume is not partitionable, so #1 is meaningless
* Useless information "Linux device-mapper (linear)" is displayed
* Size of the volume is displayed twice
* Far more space is taken on the screen than necessary
I would suggest a display like the following:
LVM Volume Group: Raid
Home 80.0 GB f ext4 /home
Home_Manager 20.0 GB f ext4 /home/manager
Root_Maverick 15.0 GB f ext4 /
Swap 4.0 GB f swap swap
Var_Maverick 10.0 GB f ext4 /var
