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

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

During manual partitioning, if you managed to get the partition table
exactly right, upon creating the volume group you are thrown back into
logical volume setup dialog, but this time around it will show the
"resurrected"  LVMs. And you can proceed to delete them or do as you
please.

** No longer affects: partman-lvm (Ubuntu Quantal)

** No longer affects: partman-lvm (Ubuntu Precise)

** Changed in: partman-lvm (Ubuntu)

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
