Bug#565947: debian-installer: creation of volume group (LVM) fails if hostname corresponds with an existing device name
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20091215
Severity: normal
Using the guided partition mode with LVM setup might fail if the
chosen hostname corresponds with an existing device name.
Example:
The hostname is set to "vcs". The name of the automatically created
volume group is "vcs" as well then, though creation and use of it
fail because /dev/vcs is an existing character device already.
The *source* of the error isn't visible in the user interface but
just in the syslog.
