Description of problem: I tried to install F18 on a box with previously installed RHEL6. As I had removed the RHEL6 partition in the partitioning GUI, this error popped up. Installation can not continue. The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 18.37.11 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devicelibs/lvm.py", line 379, in lvremove raise LVMError("lvremove failed for %s: %s" % (lv_name, msg)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devices.py", line 2580, in _destroy lvm.lvremove(self.vg.name, self._name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devices.py", line 818, in destroy self._destroy() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/deviceaction.py", line 286, in execute self.device.destroy() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py", line 323, in processActions action.execute() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 323, in doIt self.devicetree.processActions() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 174, in turnOnFilesystems storage.doIt() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/install.py", line 114, in doInstall turnOnFilesystems(storage) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 91, in run threading.Thread.run(self, *args, **kwargs) LVMError: lvremove failed for vserver: running lvm lvremove --config devices { filter=["r|/loop5$|","r|/loop6$|","r|/loop7$|"] } vol0/vserver failed Additional info: cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda --liveinst --method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-osimg-min --lang en_US.UTF-8 cmdline_file: initrd=/Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop/isolinux/initrd0.img root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-18-Multi-Desktop live_dir=/Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop/LiveOS/ rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 BOOT_IMAGE=/Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop/isolinux/vmlinuz0 executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 other involved packages: python-libs-2.7.3-13.fc18.x86_64 package: anaconda-18.37.11-1.fc18.x86_64 packaging.log: product: Fedora release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) type: libreport version: 18

Removing partitions with fdisk solved the problem, however, I was unable to do it with the graphic installer.
Looks like we need to pass more --yes --force --force --force --force... : 08:50:02,009 INFO program: Running... lvm lvremove --config devices { filter=["r|/loop5$|","r|/loop6$|","r|/loop7$|"] } vol0/vserver 08:50:02,346 ERR program: Removing origin vserver will also remove 2 snapshots(s). Proceed? [y/n]: 08:50:02,347 ERR program: Logical volume vserver not removed.
Hmmm? Is there anything once can do to help?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
