Subject: debian-installer: creation of volume group (LVM) fails if hostname corresponds with an existing device name

Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 23:35:57 +0100

Package: debian-installer
Version: 20091215
Severity: normal


Using the guided partition mode with LVM setup might fail if the
chosen hostname corresponds with an existing device name.

Example:

The hostname is set to "vcs". The name of the automatically created
volume group is "vcs" as well then, though creation and use of it
fail because /dev/vcs is an existing character device already.

The *source* of the error isn't visible in the user interface but
just in the syslog.

regards,

Closes: 542441 565947
Changes: 
 partman-auto-lvm (49) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * After creating partitions, wait for devices to settle and wipe
     left-over LVM from them. (Closes: #542441) (LP: #154086)
   * Append "-vg" to VG names derived from hostname. (LP: #1091788)
   * Ask for a different VG name, if it clashes with a device name. (Closes: #565947)
   * Adjust VCS fileds to canonical URLs.
   * Specify 3.0 (native) source format.
   * Bump compat to 9 (drops useless pysupport calls).
   * Add myself to uploaders.
