Bug Description
When using the following options in a kickstart file:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
preseed partman-
preseed partman/
preseed partman/confirm boolean true
preseed partman-
Disk partitioning is meant to be truely unattended, if the installer encounters a logical volume which spans two or more physical disks the installer gives a warning indicating that it cannot remove the lv/vg because it considers it "unsafe" at this point you get stuck in a loop and you are not given the chance to complete the installation (even manually).
Please consider both a) making it so that kickstart/preseed can indeed wipe out LV/VGs which span multiple physical disks AND b) making manual partitioning an option in situations where kickstart/preseed cannot handle an instance. I assume the same thing would happen with software RAID, although i haven't tried it yet.
It would be good if essentially no matter what the state of the target disk or disks the installer could remove the current filesystem.
