4.1 installer LVM partitioning - hard to customize, missing space

[51lieal]

@airelemental

Using the qubes 4.1 installer, it is very difficult to add a standard ext4 partition to the end of the default LVM setup. Choosing Custom, if you try to resize down the existing LVM volumes it complains about requiring a mount point. Afterwards, you can’t add a standard partition anyway. I could just be an LVM novice.

I’m not sure what you mean, if you could explain a bit what are you trying to achieve.

In the lvs output of the installed system, vm-pool (676g) + root-pool (20g) + swap (4g) doesn’t add up to the size of /dev/sda2 (800g). Is it normal to have 100g unaccounted for? This is the result of pre-making a standard partition at the end of the disk and letting the qubes installer automatically partition the remaining free space.
