[Feature request!] Clean up a previous installation.

[Gilberto Ferreira]

Hi there.
During installation using PVE installer, when everything is set to inicialize the installation itself, the installer ask me if I would like to rename the pve logical volume to old-something.
The only clickable button I found was "Cancel the installation" or "Ok".
It would be nice if we can wipe up the existent LVM logical volume.
Thanks,

Best you also create a feature request issue in the bug tracker: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/

hi,

you can make a feature request on our bugtracker [0]

just for your info, one way to wipe would be running sgdisk --zap-all /dev/foo (where /dev/foo is your disk) in the installer's debugging mode [1] (CTRL-D will drop you in a shell)

Yes. I am aware of that, but this require multiple reboots, one to enter debugge mode, another to start the installation all over.
But I will do a bugtracker. I just think this is not a bug.
Thanks any way.

The bugtracker is not just for bugs. You can choose between "bug" and "feature request" when opening a new issue. That way is easier for the team to manage stuff and keep track of progress.
