Hi Michael,

Today we ran into this problem again :(

(I'll send you logs in PM).

>From what I understand, setup-storage tries to remove lvm parts at the
beginning... which isn't what should be done as the lvm partitions are
not "visible" since disks are not partitioned..

PV/VG/LVremove(s) should be done after the command "parted -s /dev/sda
set 9 lvm on" and before trying to "pvcreate"... Do you understand ?
(maybe it's not really clear -> let me know)
