Hello,

I just ran across this issue today and I'm at a complete loss. I've tried rebooting, updating/upgrading, etc. Still no joy.

Whenever I try to make a new VM I get the following error:


Stop
WARNING: ext4 signature detected on /dev/local-LVM/vm-666-disk-0 at offset 1080. Wipe it? [y/n]: [n]
Aborted wiping of ext4.
1 existing signature left on the device.
Failed to wipe signatures on logical volume local-LVM/vm-666-disk-0.
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 666 - lvcreate 'local-LVM/vm-666-disk-0' error: Aborting. Failed to wipe start of new LV.

I'm completely stumped. I have 3 other VM's already running on this LVM (those created without any issue a month or so ago), but it will not allow me to create a new one no matter what. I also get the exact same issue when I try to clone one of my working VM's.

Any ideas of things to check? Thank you.
