lvm non-zero exit code

[Piotr Kandziora]

Hi everyone,

I have problem with my automatic instalation via network using FAI
3.4.5 on Debian Squeeze.
If disk has LVM data from previous instalataion - then this
installation fails as you can see in logs below.
I know that in my case I can use pvremove command with -ff parameter
and then begin whole installation from the beginning - and it works.
I wonder if there is any way to avoid using pvremove command. Any help
welcome, thanks!
