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?

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what is the problem that you anticipate with LVM after a power failure?

Password prompt on boot load. No monitor and keyboard plugged in, and im assuming i cant SSH until LVM password is entered.

@Crabhands @drspod There's no such thing as an LVM password, you're thinking of LUKS.
