In my environment I want to be able to "reinstall" a system without
losing data on certain LVM disks.
The "format=no" option isn't enough to guarantee that data will not be
losed. I doesn't know how LVM disks are created if they are contiguous
space on a disk or something different so to preserve data I have to
do not delete VolumeGroups and LogicalVolumes that contains my data.

So I written the new option "recreate=no" for LogicalVolume Definition
on autoinstallscript.conf.

This is the patch to "Server.pm" module to make it works.

I hope It will be useful for other users and included in the new version.

Thanks In Advance,

d4lamar
