Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.95-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.3.3
On a fresh boot from a liveCD, I install lvm2 and start setting up my encrypted
hard drive. However, regardless of the name I choose, lvcreate gives the
following error:
/dev/VGNAME/LVNAME: not found: device not cleared
Aborting. Failed to wipe start of new LV.
At this point the logical volume is in an inconsitent state and to recover I
have just removed the entire volume group and started over.
An Internet search shows that I am not the only one with this problem. This
discussion on the debian-user list provides the most details:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/12/msg00407.html
lvcreate works find if after installing lvm2 I run "service restart udev"
To avoid this problem, the lvm2 install script should be reloading the udev
rules if udev is in use.

udev does reload the rules on its own.
