Noob starting first server. Installed Ubuntu server, and opted for LVM. However, will that cause me problems on a headless server if I get a power outage and need to reboot? I think yes. Is there a solution, or should i remove LVM before i go too deep setting things up?
servers for data centers often come with IPMI, which allows to remotely operate the server before boot.
you could also have only a data partition encrypted, so it boots the unencrypted OS and you have to SSH in and mount the data partition, entering your password.
