I tested archlinux-2010.04.19-core-x86_64.iso and have some issues with installing with a lvm:
* It would be very very nice if I could say when creating a logical volume: "Take all the free space in the volumegroup" (aka -l100%FREE)
Good idea! I didn't run into this yet because I tend to only assign a fraction of the available space during installation (i.e. on a 300GB volume, I use 10GB for system, 4GB for swap and 20GB for /home, let the rest unused).
* If I type a value greater than the free space in the vg the installer says it encountered errors. Would be better if it is checked, if the value exceeds the free space.
Good idea. Also didn't run into this for the same reasons.
At the current state I wouldn't use the Installers capability to create a LVM because it's a bit glitchy.
Always worked for me so far.
The same is true of the capability of creating dm-crypt volumes. Till now I was not able to set up a working scenario with LVM atop of dm-crypt. The Installers also fails with some errors. (I don't have more information about this yet because it's a bit longer ago. I will retest it)
I installed a system using AIF from git in February or March I think (the current CDs contain a newer AIF version). I had no trouble setting this up back then.
