Expectations would be that similar sizes are suggested 2) Even if nothing of the future structure has been created on disk, the partitioner refuses to resize the partition (e.g. sda5) that is used for LVM (PV). Instead, you must delete all logical volumes before you can resize the VG. 3) Even for the very experienced user, the usability of the LVM-part of the partitioner is poor. It's not quite obvious where to continue from having created the hard partitions. 4) Online help is incomplete (e.g. regarding encryped VGs and LVs) 5) On screens where there is a mandatory input field, the cursor is not positioned inside that field (or the first input field), so that the user has to do an extra click (or TAB).
