i use clearpart, BUT only on the system disk, ie:
clearpart --initlabel --all --drives=sda
while there are other data disk in the system and lvm groups are system
wide not disk specific. there are some system where i would like to keep
data on the data disks (those do not cointans volgroups) so i can't
clearpart those disk. but if there is not data on them there may can be
volgroup on them. but if i'd be able to
lvremove VolGroup00
in kickstart then it'd be good for me.
