[Bug 708548] Re: kickstart not removing logical volume data

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package kickseed - 0.56ubuntu1

---------------
kickseed (0.56ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Add basic RAID support.  (LVM-on-RAID won't quite work yet.)
    - Add basic iSCSI support.

kickseed (0.56) unstable; urgency=low

  * Preseed partman-lvm/confirm_overwrite as well as partman-lvm/confirm.
  * Preseed partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm when confirming logvol results,
    since Kickstart doesn't have a separate control with a one-to-one
    correspondence to this (LP: #708548).
  * Don't perform an extra layer of backslash interpretation when reading
    lines from Kickstart files (LP: #715746).  Note that this may break some
    existing Kickstart files that tried to work around the previous
    behaviour; this seems like the lesser of two evils.
  * Allow ksdevice=bootif, with netcfg 1.63.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  From my understanding "clearpart --all --initlabel" should clear all partitions no matter if they are containing LVMs or not.
  This is the case in Centos. Ubuntu somehow asks if it should do so:

  \quote
  [!!] Partition disks

  The selected device already contains the following LVM locical
  volumes, volume groups and physical volumes which are about the be
  removed:

  Logical volume(s) to be removed:
  [...]
  Note that this will also permanently erase any data currently on the logical volumes.
  Remove existing logical volume data?
  \quote end

  I am experiencing this problem from version 8.10 to version 10.10 (I
  have not tried earlier versions)

  Regards,
  Jan
