Can I install CLear Linux on LVM partition?
short answer: No, the rootfs should be in a raw partition.
long answer: You can add LVM partition to CL.
As an example, my setup is as follow:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
nvme0n1 259:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 512M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 512M 0 part
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 40G 0 part
│ └─luks-8796afd4-111b-44d8-8f61-dc9424d5695d 252:0 0 40G 0 crypt /
└─nvme0n1p4 259:4 0 197.5G 0 part
└─lvm 252:1 0 197.5G 0 crypt
├─clr-home 252:2 0 115G 0 lvm /home
├─clr-win 252:3 0 60G 0 lvm
├─clr-fedora 252:4 0 6.5G 0 lvm
└─clr-swap 252:5 0 16G 0 lvm [SWAP]
Here you can see /boot
(ESP) at p1, /
at p3 which is an encrypted partition (the rootfs), and p4 as another encrypted partition, and inside it a LVM.
