Package: partman-auto-lvm Version: 13 automatically_partition/some_device_lvm/do_option checks for a pre existing VG/PV on the disks to partition. the reason for this check is described here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347479 this means that a reinstall on a disk using lvm is not possible. one must remove the lvm partitions, or the VG before partitioning. something that is doable, but anoying, when installing manualy. But this check breaks CCD distributions, and installations that use preseeding. the installer should have a preseedable option to "erase VG's on discs" before attempting automatic partitioning or simply "erase partition table" before trying automatic partitioning one could also argue that setting the preseedable option "partman-auto-lvm/disk /dev/discs/disc0/disc" already implies erasing the whole disk and just do so without further ado, and no need for additional preseed options. -- mvh Ronny Aasen -- 41616155 -- ronny@datapart-as.no -- Datapart AS -- 57682100 -- www.datapart-as.no --
