Good points!
I've suggested to warn as an alternative to killing the PV right away in those

"LVM and RAID tools for Boot-Floppies"
Lol, well, thanks for presenting yourself.
Actually, I am grateful for that link with the extdisk.
I am going to give it a try soon. ;)

So, it's my built-in 'feature' (no bug) :D
Nice to meet you.
If I could, I'd 'hire' you... ;)
