I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a new computer, and decided to use the Logical Volume manager lvm .
The installer partitioned the hard drive into 3 partitions, (1 MB UEFI bootlader area, , then I assigned 1 GB as to /boot
and 150 GB to /
which is /dev/sda3
.
The output of sudo parted /dev/sda print
was
Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 161GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB bios_grub
2 2097kB 1076MB 1074MB ext4
3 1076MB 161GB 160GB
Now I after executing
sudo parted /dev/sda set 3 lvm on
(because I can) , I get
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 2097kB 1049kB bios_grub
2 2097kB 1076MB 1074MB ext4
3 1076MB 161GB 160GB lvm
Which is better? Is The lvm
flag really important to have (or to not have)?
Did the Ubuntu installer *not set this flag on purpose?
