The installer only installs lvm2 if needed. However some other packages might pull it as dependencies… I've a local patch for that though, which I'll test I'm 100% agree with you that lvm2 should not be installed if not necessary, but which package(s) pull it? I am not against having tools like lvm2, dmraid installed. I think that only matter is to have the minimum of service launched at boot time. I do think a solution could be to only activate such services if they are required. dmraid-activation.service enabled enabled lvm2-monitor.service enabled enabled mdadm.service alias - mdmonitor-takeover.service enabled enabled mdmonitor.service enabled enabled It could be done at installation time as the "resumé" of installation purposes a list of already activated service. Per administrator-basis (the user who installs Mageia) he can already deactivate such unnecessary services but this is beyond the scope of average user.
