Here's what happens if the same volume group name is used (see below
for the case when a different volume group name is used):
┌──────────────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├───────────────────────┐
│ │
│ Volume group name already in use │
│ The volume group name used to automatically partition using LVM is │
│ already in use. Lowering the priority for configuration questions │
│ will allow you to specify an alternative name. │

Unfortunately, there's nothing useful in the logs:
