I have Ubuntu 22.04 running on two disks, each being an LVM group. The first disk has an LVM volume that is my root, the other several LVM volumes. I would like to upgrade to 24.04, but I understand that will take until about August.
So, I created a new LVM volume in the first drive (group), hoping I could install 24.04 there. The installer gives the option for manual partitioning, but does not show any LVM devices. After opening an terminal and running lvscan, I can see all volumes, but the installer still does not see them. There is an option for LVM under the non-manual partitioning, but this seems to erase the entire disk. That is not what I want.
Has anything changes? In my memory it was possible to install to existing LVM volumes after manually loading LVM and activating the volumes.
Is it possible to use an existing LVM volume as Ubuntu root in 24.04?
