  • Hehe, I’m doing this all the time now ! 3 years ago when I started my linux/self-hosted server journey with debian: CLI only !

    Was difficult at times and had a few breakdowns (most got fixed the next day… Sleep/taking some time off really helps !!!)

    One thing I’m still bad at… Is taking notes. Haven’t found a good way take IT notes. And I tried sooo many different approaches…


  • Huuh ! That’s somehow similar to how calamares treats LVMs. And also a hack/wacky workaround similar how to fix LVM installation

    • mount every partition similar as chrooting
    • cd to each directory in a separated shell for each directory (keeps the mount points busy)
    • swapon the swap partition

    Only then you are able to install your OS with calamares on a LVM filesystem hierarchy…Except this is a 5 years long issue/bug and they are discussing to drop LVM support :/.

    Sorry for hijacking your comment with something unrelated to the actual post, I’m just amazed on how Linux fixes/workarounds can be odd at times.
