Bug#542441: #542441 Re: old LVM data is not erased
Hi,
This old bug is still present in Squeeze, except that I have only seen it
cause issues on systems with more than one disk.
If there is a LVM volume on the 2nd disk that has a group name that is the
same Debian wants to use, install fails with a red "Volume group name already
in use"
To reproduce on a (virtual) system with 2 disks:
- install Debian.
- swap the disks cables, so that disk 1 becomes disk 2.
- try to install Debian again.
I think Debian should remove the labels from ALL disks if I specify "partman-
lvm/device_remove_lvm".
Or as an alternate solution pick a random volume group name by default, so
there are not any conflicts.
