Bug Description

First I got into the live system and triggered installation from there (after disabling nvme kernel module, to prevent the installer from using the nvme).
Then I clicked through the installer, did nothing special (german settings, use 3rd party tools, login to wlan, use the standard installaion with the guided installation, ...)
I tried to use the "create encrypted LVM" option to install the system to a 2TB USB 3 SSD, because I want to use cryptsetup.
It fails while creating the LVM stuff.

Log before crash:

Same installation (and with same iso) actually works inside virtualbox with a 50GB disk.
I don't know if it's because the 2TB or because it's an USB disk?
Any non LVM installation also works on the USB disk.
Only that there is no non LVM offering cryptsetup encryption.
Btw. the installation I want to achieve worked in the past using Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, but actually fails with the same error on 23.10

Thank you for your bug report, it seems the lvcreate command indeed fails

If maybe the installer calculates the rest size of the disk wrong, is there a way to tell the installer to make the root disk smaller? Since it's LVM, it could be made bigger after first boot.
Is there a way to get the autosetup.yaml from installer click-through?

Hi there, thanks for the report.

Could you attach a copy of the logs from /var/log/installer? Thanks.
