I definitely saw this bug on two different machines
Also, I only went into the shell _after_ I saw the bug. I did not use
the shell to change things before observing the bug.
In both cases, there were existing partitions on the disks, I don't
know if this could be a factor
I agree the use case of two PVs on a single HDD is not so common, but
the bug could actually be revealing some deeper flaw in the partman
logic that may also manifest itself in other ways. Therefore, I'm not
sure it is a good idea to downgrade the bug without someone familiar
with the partman code having a look `under the hood'
Some suggestions for going forward:
a) could more logging code be added to partman to help understand the
problem next time somebody sees it?
b) can anyone comment on which part of the partman source code needs
to be reviewed (and which VCS it is in)?
