Bug Description
The default volume group (VG) name in both Ubuntu, and Ubuntu Server is: ubuntu-vg
#######
Boot issue
* You cannot boot an Ubuntu (or Ubuntu Server) disk drive, if you have another disk drive attached with Ubuntu (or Ubuntu Server) installed.
#######
Disk mount issue in other distros
* In other distros that are usign other VG names: If you attach other disk drives that have identical VG names, they will not be mounted. And only one disk drive will be mounted if you are trying to mount them:
$ sudo apt-get install lvm2
$ reboot
Then:
$ sudo modprobe dm-mod
$ sudo vgchange -a y
WARNING: VG name ubuntu-vg is used by VGs HW3PiJ-
Fix duplicate VG names with vgrename uuid, a device filter, or system IDs.
WARNING: activating multiple VGs with the same name is dangerous and may fail.
1 logical volume(s) in volume group "ubuntu-vg" now active
WARNING: activating multiple VGs with the same name is dangerous and may fail.
device-mapper: create ioctl on ubuntu-
0 logical volume(s) in volume group "ubuntu-vg" now active
#######
Solution
For "Manual partitioning":
* Like in "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" option: 1) Add "physical volume for LVM" 2) Make it possible to encrypt it
* Add a default VG name, but make it possible to change it to avoid the issues described in the top of this issue.
