Title:
  guided lvm creation fails with certain hostnames in alternate
  installer

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

Bug description:
  If you set hostname in network configuration section of debian
  installer to "zero", "null", etc. found under /dev/ the guided lvm
  creation fails with error: "/dev/<hostname>: already exists in
  filesystem" (see screenshot)

  This can simply be circumvented by adding "lvm-" prefix to the lvm
  devices.

  I ran into this with 10.04.2 amd64 server installer.
