a quick google of Debian & LVM issues found this:<br>

<br>
so it may BE a real Debian issue...<br>
<br>
and here are some standard caveats for LVM installation:<br>

<br>
any of these could have been his issue..<br>
<br>
<strong></strong>
<p>Risks of using LVM:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vulnerable to write caching due to hard drive/SSD or VM
hypervisor (or old Linux kernels)</li>
<li>Harder to recover data due to more complex on-disk structures</li>
<li>Harder to resize filesystems correctly</li>
<li>Snapshots are hard to use, slow and buggy</li>
<li>Requires some skill to configure correctly given these issues</li>
</ul>
