Bug Description
I thought I'd have a go at migrating from my current system (Fedora Core 6) to the Feisty beta. The plan was the usual one for moving between distros: keep /home and blat everything else.
The problem I've hit is that I'm using LVM which Feisty doesn't seem to recognise. It sees a partition allocated to LVM during the installation routine, but doesn't seem to give me the ability to select which logical volumes to use for which filesystems and what to keep. (It does give me the option of setting up a new volume group etc., which would presumably overwrite the old one).
This issue occurs in the partitioning component of the installation routine on the Feisty beta.
I'd like something in the Ubuntu install which recognises that I'm upgrading a system installed on LVM and asks me where I'd like to mount the different logical volume filesystems, as is the case for a normally partitioned system.
