Installer wipes out LVM volumes before reaching partition disks step #42

Reproduction steps:

  1. In a VM, create a LVM volume group consisting of 1 physical volume and at least 1 logical volume.
  2. Reboot and start SteamOS installer in Expert mode.
  3. Open the shell and run blkid. Verify that the LVM volume is shown.
  4. Continue with installer until the "Partition disks" step. The suggested partition layout is shown.
  5. Select "Undo changes to partitions". Only one primary partition is shown, set to use as LVM physical volume.
  6. Open the shell and run blkid again. The LVM volume is gone.

The syslog definitely shows existing volumes being removed without user confirmation:

Apr 13 14:44:08 partman-lvm:   Logical volume "root" successfully removed
Apr 13 14:44:08 partman-lvm:   0 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg0" now active
Apr 13 14:44:08 partman-lvm:   Volume group "vg0" successfully removed
Apr 13 14:44:08 partman-lvm:   Labels on physical volume "/dev/sda1" successfully wiped

Edit: Forgot to mention, using official 1.0 93plus1 release.

This issue seems to no longer exist, but there is still an issue with the current version of Stephenson's Rocket concerning LVM. That issue has, however, been fixed in the git repo and will be included in the next version.
