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

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

I wonder if this affects manual partitioning as well, if the user
recreates the same partitioning table. But I am not too sure if there is
a way for me to hook into create partition / commit.

I will play around with it and see what I can come up with.

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
