Package: partman-auto-lvm Version: 11 Severity: important Since the change away from using lvmcfg, partman auto lvm fails to detect that a disk already holds a physical volume, leading to partitioning failing at a later point.
Failing command is in automatically_partition/some_device_lvm/do_option:
# Check if the device already contains any physical volumes
realdev=$(mapdevfs "$(cat $dev/device)")
if pv_get_info "$realdev"; then
bail_out pv_on_device
fi
pv_get_info returns with an error where it should return OK.
Executing the command resulting from this call manually results in:
# pvs --noheadings --nosuffix --separator : --units M \
- o pv_size,pv_pe_count,pv_free,pv_pe_alloc_count,vg_name \
/dev/sda
Failed to read physical volume "/dev/sda"
This check worked with the old version of pv_get_info!
