[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use

[Chris J Arges]

Just tested this with a daily precise server iso:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/alpha-1/

Installed and used "Guided - Use entire disk and setup LVM". Then installed again using "Guided - Use entire disk and setup LVM".
The installer allowed me to write over the existing LVM and warned me about it.

I was wondering if I'm not reproducing correctly. Can somebody else
verify this with the current iso?

Thanks,
--chris

Title:
  Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM
  claiming group already in use

Status in “partman-auto-lvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  I have a ubuntu 7.10 beta server I'd like to reinstall from scratch.
  During the disk partitioning, I'd opted for "Guided - Use entire disk
  and setup LVM" Part way through it informed me that the volume group
  name was already in use. Surely this option should setup a new LVM
  instance and use the entire disk, even if a LVM instance already
  existed?

  How can I blank this without manually having to create volumes? I
  think this is a bug
