This is not a technical bug per se, but not being able to create multiple Logical Volumes in a Volume Group is a bit of a short-coming? If this was submitted wrongly, please guide me to the right location.
What I expected was to be able to create multiple LVs in a VG (as I had done so before on RH-based installs)
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 167,7G 0 disk

What happened instead:
-- When I use automatic partitioning (with encryption and LVM tagged) it makes 1 VG and creates 1 big filesystem / and 1 for swap. Makes sense, I merely used this just to show that it does in fact work.
-- When I manually partition in the installer, I cannot create multiple LV's in a single VG. Each filesystem needs to be on its own Physical Volume. After reboot this resulted in having to enter the same encryption password (can only set it once) multiple times.
-- When I manually partition in the installer without LVM, all filesystems on separate encrypted partitions, it fails at creating/mounting the XFS filesystem. This is possibly/most likely a separate bug which I'll investigate on a different (virtual) machine.
-- When I manually partition using parted, then assign filesystem/
-- When I manually partition using parted, then assign filesystem/
Worked around it by using the automatic partitioning (so all the libs and configs are present) and alter the setup from LiveCD after completion.
I do not have installer-logs available. If needed I could reproduce in a VM fairly easily.
