Bug Description

If you set hostname in network configuration section of debian installer to "zero", "null", etc. found under /dev/ the guided lvm creation fails with error: "/dev/<hostname>: already exists in filesystem" (see screenshot)

This can simply be circumvented by adding "lvm-" prefix to the lvm devices.

I ran into this with 10.04.2 amd64 server installer.

As a follow-up to the previous bug #154086 it appears that this problem has still not been fixed.

Case in point that bug #453276 is still present, thus upon creating a new partition we really should be clearing it (e.g. at least pvremove and the like)

Also upon removing volumes and groups we should be zeroing the lvm metadata off it
