Hello cpitchford, or anyone else affected, Accepted partman-auto-lvm into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman- auto-lvm/42ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use
Upon calling create Volume Group a few checks are done. One of the check is Volume Group name collision. This could be valid (duplicate name, pre-seed mistake, etc) or it could be a zombie Volume Group that got detected on otherwise empty partition. There is a codepath to remove existing volume groups with confirmation. I think instead claiming name collision, we should take that path: - it can be pre-seeded out - user can proceed to remove zombie/name-conflict or back out to partitioning I will try to patch this test it.

[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use
I just tested with Ubuntu 11.04 on both bare metal and on a KVM guest and I cannot reproduce the problem. I was using preseed. I'll test on Ubuntu 11.10 tomorrow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154086 Title: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto-lvm/+bug/154086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use
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?

[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use
The cause of this (assuming that it's the same bug as I've been tracking in Debian Squeeze) is that the LVM data is on the disk, but the partitions are not, so when it tries to look for pre-existing PVs it finds none. Then it sets up the partitions, and assuming the partitions are created in the same place, the partitions that are created are then revealed to contain the previous LVM data, which throws a spanner in the works. As a work around, I've modified /lib/partman/lib/auto-lvm.sh, just below thse lines: open_dialog COMMIT close_dialog adding: sleep 10 pvs --all /dev/null device_remove_lvm $dev The sleep is to allow things to settle after the partitions are created by the COMMIT. This should really be detecting when the partitions are ready, rather than just pausing for a while. The 'pvs --all' seems to kick pvs such that it then lists the information we need -- without that it reacts as though the PVs are not there. and then we can remove the lvm info from the device. With that change the install works for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154086 Title: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've also hit this ('partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm' not having effect).
However, it doesn't manifest itself on KVM guests.

[Bug 154086] Re: Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use
Colin, adding partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm doesn't take care of this case: 1. Begin an install with LVM auto partitioning. Let the partitioning step finish. 2. Delete the partition table 3. Start another install and select LVM auto partitioning. You get an error that the volume group name is already in use. If you continue and try again, then it works. My understanding is that even if you preseed every option available to remove existing LVM data, if LVM data suddenly appears when the disk gets partitioned, partman is incapable of removing it. If you select continue, it restarts the partitioning step and allow the removal of the existing data since the partitions now exist. ** Tags added: glucid -- Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think this should be a lot better in Hardy, but I'd appreciate testing. (In a manual install it ought to ask you whether you want to remove the volumes; in an automatic install you would need to preseed 'd-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true'.) -- Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM claiming group already in use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154086 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem here. The s-ata harddisk had a Debian etch with lvm installed before. To figure that out I booted Knoppix and erased the partition table with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=1'. Nevertheless I'm still unable to use Guided - Use entire disk and setup LVM. I'm installing via PXE, kernel and initrd are taken from ubuntu-7.10-server-amd64.iso.
