will vsido install on existing lvm

I have a pc that came with lvm (formerly a RHEL pc). I should have taken the time to re-partition, but I didn't. Will vsido install on an existing LVM scheme?
Thanks

Part of the install includes partitioning your drive with GParted.
You will be asked to select a root , /home and swap partition.
(swap is required).
I hope that helps.
EDIT:
Hinto
it should install just fine with LVM partitioning as long as you have a swap partition.

^ only if vsido recognizes lvm by default. Typically RedHat, Debian (and siduction) installers do, but not Ubuntu/Mint.
I'll spin it up and see.

Hinto
Logical is part of the extended partitioning.. Correct?
One of my VSIDO installs is like so
Code:
[Select]
sdb4: Extended
sdb6 /
sdb7 SWAP
sdb8 /home

OK.. LVM is nothing like I thought it was.
So I have no clue in this area.
Thank for sharing the link.

Hi Hinto - Wecome to VSIDO!
Based on this: "Typically RedHat, Debian (and siduction) installers do"
There is a chance that it would, VSIDO is using a Debian Installer.
No guarantees, you're the first that I know of using LVM.
Maybe this:
Debian root on RAID + LVM
.
Good luck

I doubt that it will work in a LVM settings, there is nothing in the installer looking for LVM
The reason why debian works is because of partman, which is what I hope to use in future versions of VSIDO

before or after the install?
What should I expect if say, I boot the liveCD, install lvm (in the session) then start the install process?
Hosed on reboot?
