Title:
  LVM-partitioned DASD cannot be formatted when returning from
  "Partition disk" screen

Status in s390-dasd package in Ubuntu:
  New

  An LVM-partitioned DASD cannot be formatted if you have not chosen to do so on first-time selecting the DASD for installation. 

  Reproduction:

  - Select DASD (which I used for an installation with LVM before)
  - Format the Device -> no
  - Finish
  - Partitioning method: manual

  - Menu "Partition disks": 
  DASD 0.0.5d32 (ECKD) - 7.4 GB IBM S390 DASD drive
  >     #1    500.0 MB       ext2
  >     #2      6.9 GB    K  lvm 
  >            49.2 kB       FREE SPACE
  LVM VG rootVG, LV rootLV - 6.9 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
  >     #1      6.9 GB       ext4

  - Go Back

  - Select "Configure direct access storage devices (DASD)"
    
  - Select previous DASD again; DASD is displayed as 0.0.5d32 (online)
    
  - Format the device -> Yes

  - Error:

  Installation step failed     
  An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something
  else. The failing step is: Configure direct access storage devices (DASD)

  /proc/partitions looks like this:

    94        2    6723792 dasda2

  I have attached the syslog that was created during my test.
