I've not had a play with the installer for some time (to my shame) but I wonder if it's at all possible to notice that a disk that was allocated to LVM (pvcreated) has now been allocated to a filesystem. In which case a pvremove could be done on the volume. This maybe totally impractical, of

Hang on, there's an alarm bell that I've not been heeding. Looking in the code: Incorrect metadata area header checksum is a fatal error. If that's is occurring on one of tour PVs then the VG should not activate.that leads me to think it might be another disk/device that is producing the error.
