Bug#542441: old LVM data is not erased
Package: partman-lvm
Version: 65
Severity: normal
While doing an automatic Lenny installation on a previously used disk,
I've found that debian-installer fails to erase the previous partition
data before using my partman-auto/expert_recipe . Therefore, it fails to
create the new VG and LVs, and stops there, displaying an error.
I think the problem is that the function device_remove_lvm , on
partman-lvm/lib/lvm-remove.sh , is not called from anywhere else in the
code on partman-lvm, partman-auto-lvm or partman-auto.
My preseed file contains the following partman related variables:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string lvm
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm_span boolean true
d-i partman-auto/purge_lvm_from_device boolean true
d-i partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string vg00
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true
d-i partman-basicmethods/method_only boolean false
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \
