Hello Michael,

Could you give 3.3.4+experimental2 another chance? That one should not do
pvcreate on volumes that are part of that volume group already.
I found another issue on the LVM resize option : it always preserves the partition. This is not appropriate, as when resizing /usr like I do one is expecting the partition to be cleaned before the new installation. Also, setup-storage fails if the partition does not already exist :

Can't preserve /dev/vg0/usr because it does not exist


IMHO the resize option should behave as follows:
if (the volume exists) {
 resize the volume
 if (a preserve* flag is also set for this volume) {
   resize the filesystem
 } else {
   create a new filesystem
 }
} else {
 ignore the resize flag and create a new volume + filesystem
}
