I’m trying to get this to work with a more complex LVM setup, but I get a general error during installation. The user-data file parses and validates correctly it would seem, since I’m offered the chance to type “yes” and begin the autoinstall, but I just get an install_fail error from Subiquity after it sets up the partitions.
I’ve tried to reduce this down to what I think is the simplest version of this possible, so I can get it to work before I set up a much more complex layout with more LVM volumes, but I can’t work out what I’m doing wrong here to have it fail:
Edit: I worked out what i was doing wrong and have replaced my storage: section below with a working one. For reference, if anyone faces similar issues in the future, make sure that the device: keys in your mount: stanzas reference the id field from your format stanza, and don’t reference the partition or LVM volume directly.
