[Bug 923552] [NEW] no way to create logical volume within lvm

[Martin Pool]

Public bug reported:

I've just reinstalled my laptop using the precise alternative amd64
snapshot from 2012-01-27.  I wanted to repartition the disk, and then
have an lv on a vg on lusk within a partition.

I chose "guided install with encrypted lvm", and I got a luks partition
with lvm inside it, but it didn't have any logical volumes.  (So, the
install could not proceed since there was no root partition.)

I tried again in manual mode and hit the same problem: after the vg was
created, I could see it in the partitioner menu, but I couldn't see any
way to create an lv within it.  When I pressed enter on the pv, or
anything connected to it, I was just told "this is in use by
$device_name and cannot be edited". (I forget the exact name, it was
something like 'crypt_sda5'.)
