This is caused by #223388. The function get_pvs of lvmcfg.sh invokes
/usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions, however find-partition doesn't list
all LVM partitions as being LVM but only those that do not contain any
file system.
Hence you can not use a partition with existing file system for
phisical volume...

I belive that the changes were written, so I am simply reassinging
this but to lvmcfg.
