Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.168-2
This happened to me:
root@elbling0:~# lvcreate -L 10000M -n debian.buster.guest.osstest-disk
elbling0-vg
WARNING: dos signature detected on
/dev/elbling0-vg/debian.buster.guest.osstest-disk at offset 510. Wipe it?
[y/n]: ^C Interrupted...
Aborted wiping of dos.
1 existing signature left on the device.
Logical volume "debian.buster.guest.osstest-disk" created.
root@elbling0:~# lvremove -f /dev/elbling0-vg/debian.buster.guest.osstest-disk
Logical volume "debian.buster.guest.osstest-disk" successfully removed
root@elbling0:~# lvcreate -L 10000M -n debian.buster.guest.osstest-disk
elbling0-vg

I think this shows that either
(i) the block allocation for the LV is nondeterministic
(which seems contrary to the documentation, and would
be unexpected)
(ii) it lied when it said it wasn't wiping the dos signature
(which would be a potential data loss bug, although
it wouldn't affect many people)
Thanks for your atttenion,
Ian.
