Steffen suggested that we should always just delete all LVs when reusing an existing VG. At least in the case when we don't fit into the original free space.
That would mean less logic to maintain, of course, but I wonder whether its a step backwards.
So I guess the question is - does it makes sense to be conservative when deleting LVs (trying to delete as few as possible) or should we go directly all the way through?
If you are thinking about typical setups, imagine you have an existing VG (say, from a previous suse install) with root+swap+home, no free space left in this VG. Lets assume home to be the biggest chunk. The new code will go looking for space, finds root too small (because we are looking for at least root+swap) and will propose to kill the old home and add a new set of root+home (possibly reusing the old swap). I think that would be unnecessarily fragmenting disk space and we'd be better off just killing all LVs and adding a new set of LVs (owning the whole VG).
