Ok. I will document what happens in the mentioned cases (to save manual testing
to future readers).

The Partitioner says this. "The partition is being used by /dev/volgroup0. It
cannot be resized". That's a limitation with historical reasons. It should be
possible to remove that limitation since, as pointed by the reporter, neither
the partition or the volume group actually exist yet.

We could indeed add to the Partitioner actions to rename volume groups, logical
volumes and/or RAIDs.

Yes. Thanks.
