Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.111-2
Followup-For: Bug #688789
I recently had the same problem with lvcreate / lvremove. I assumed a bug in
the source and went looking to fix it.
I learned from a source comment (lib/commands/toolcontext.c:183) that there is
the -qq option for extra quietness disables the spurious output from lvcreate
and lvremove. The manpage for LVM suggests that repeating -q will "also
suppress any prompts with answer 'no'", which doesn't seem to match this case.
I still consider it a bug that this output is not removed by --quiet, but
that's for the Debian maintainers to decide; in the meantime, I hope that
documenting this workaround will help those who find the original bug report
after discovering this behaviour.
