During that setup suddenly failed with an exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/commands/main.py", line 201, in main ret = args.func(args) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/commands/block_meta.py", line 58, in block_meta meta_custom(args) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/commands/block_meta.py", line 1471, in meta_custom clear_holders.clear_holders(disk_paths) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/block/clear_holders.py", line 587, in clear_holders shutdown_function(dev_info['device']) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/block/clear_holders.py", line 310, in wipe_superblock if is_swap_device(blockdev): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/swap.py", line 108, in is_swap_device decode=False) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/curtin/util.py", line 549, in load_file fp.seek(offset) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument Tried to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 amd64 from USB stick.

I tried to have a 2GB /boot partition, then creating vg0 on two physical partitions with a logical partition for /root. Also tried to add a swap, but it did not make a difference. Machine is stable, has 32GB of memory.
