For the record, my workaround for this issue has been to borrow another disc, incorporate it into my existing VG, and temporarily migrate all data out of one existing PV at a time to allow recreating it with more space before the partition.
Modern fdisk versions no longer default to starting the first partition at sector 63, but choose sector 2048 instead, allowing for almost 1MiB of grub image. ** Summary changed: - core.img too large for embedding with msdos partition style + core.img too large for embedding with msdos partition style (possibly only boot is on LVM or other complex partition type?) ** Summary changed: - core.img too large for embedding with msdos partition style (possibly only boot is on LVM or other complex partition type?) + core.img too large for embedding with msdos partition style (possibly only when boot is on LVM or other complex partition type?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066324 Title: core.img too large for embedding with msdos partition style (possibly only when boot is on LVM or other complex partition type?)
