Dear maintainers,

when using ganeti with a lvm backed disk template like plain, the
subsequent creation of volumes fails due to signatures left on the
disk with "WARNING: Device creation failed".

The reason for this seems to be a changed behavior of lvcreate in
Bullseye (compared to all previous Debian releases):
lvcreate will now abort with exit code 5 when a preexisting signature
was detected on the physical volume. Before Bullseye, the command
showed the very same warning but then successfully continued with
the creation of the volume.

This has also been reported upstream:
https://github.com/ganeti/ganeti/issues/1585
and a patch that supresses signature checking is available in this
pull request:
https://github.com/ganeti/ganeti/pull/1586

The patch was tested with Buster and Bullseye and just works on both.
