Has there been progress on this? I was repairing my LVM and installing postfix when this occurred. Below is the CLI from the time I started the install with apt-get to final postfix updatings. Also, just prior to this I had reduced my swap lvm size to 8MB. I've included that process as well, at the bottom; below ***, just in case. root@Jupiter:~# apt-get install lvm2 dmsetup mdadm reiserfsprogs xfsprogs Reading package lists...
