Hi,

This is effectively the same issue as (LP: 1588875). What is happening is that there are several lvm partitions on a single physical volume, and when curtin attempts to shut down the first of these, it also shuts down the others at the same time. Curtin then attempts to shut down the next of the lvm partitions, but is unable to because it no longer exists. There is logic in place to allow installation to continue, but due to a bug it does not work on trusty.

I am currently working on a better design for shutting down old partitions which should be ready in the next week or so. Development on that is happening in lp:~wesley-wiedenmeier/curtin/fix-extended-clear-holders

However, since that is not available right away, there is a temporary fix in lp:~wesley-wiedenmeier/curtin/1588875

If you would like to test out the temporary fix before the full fix for shutting down old storage volumes is complete, there is a build in the ppa at: ppa:wesley-wiedenmeier/test
