But don't trust the upgrade if you use advanced features (as I found out the hard way) like Software Raid, LVM, and cryptfs. IT WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM.


An upgrade with LVM and cryptfs in use worked for me.


Can you point to any bug reports indicating this?


No, but after upgrading via apt-get my system was unbootable. After pointing it to the proper drive in grub, it would attempt to boot but mysteriously hang. No one in #ubuntu or #ubuntu+1 could figure it out. I ended up having to boot from live cd, decrypt the filesystem, transfer it to a different box, and reinstall from scratch.
