[feature request] the virtual group name of the installed system is always ubuntu-vg

[Imre Péntek]

Hello,

whenever I install ubuntu the installed virtual group always gets named "ubuntu-vg". That way it's easy to have a VG name ambiguity (two VGs named "ubuntu-vg"). There might be several ways around: name the VG like "vg_${hostname_of_the_yet_to_be_installed_system}" or 10+ random alphabetical characters

additionally to any of the aforementioned solutions you can ask the user for it in a textbox available under an "advanced options..." button.

Thank you in advance.

Imre

note to self: I need to attach the /var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman files.

this one names the VG "vgubuntu" and that's still a constant value across all installs

this issue is still present in jammy

[Dan Bungert (dbungert)]

So it starts with a name of ubuntu-vg, but then tries to pick a different one of the form ubuntu-vg-number if ubuntu-vg already exists. If the observation is that the default name is "ubuntu-vg", then things are working as intended. Or are you seeing a problem with the find-a-unique-volgroup-name bit?
