I'd previously install Hardy with the alternate installer using the guided method to create an encrypted LVM. Well I decided the other day to resize my root partition in my lvm to make room to install ubuntu studio along side vanilla ubuntu. I managed to resize the volume but couldn't figure out how to get my ubuntu studio installer (which is identical to the alternate installer) to recocognize my LVM logical volumes. After googling around I found this article. The thing I had missed was "lvchange -a y lvUBUNTU" (or in my case the lvm is JewJitsu). A note in case anyone else runs across this, if you want to install to an existing ENCRYPTED LVM, you can follow this same process, all you have to do is run "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdaX sdaX_crypt" and enter your encryption password. From there your LVM physical volume will be located at /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt. Thanks a lot for the article, it was very simple and helpful! Wow, this article saved me.

Great guide! 2nd lvmchange says “-a -y”, it should say “-a y” like the first one.

Great guide!

It's just a bit slower and this article is specifically targetted at people who just have the Live CD but still want to have Ubuntu installed on LVM2. Sure it is.
