Description of problem:
See Upstream PR https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/2564
When having a LV in Raid, and 2 PVs making the VG, an error occurs when re-creating the VG in case Migration mode is used, which usually is the default since having multiple disks with same size make ReaR do a mapping and enter Migration mode.

Start system layout restoration.

The disk layout recreation script failed
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
Internally the failure happens because a "vgcreate" is used on the existing VG, no "vgremove" is ever performed.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All versions, including Upstream
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a system
2. Add 2 additional disks that will be used to host a LVM VG with same size
/dev/vdb
/dev/vdc
3. Create a Raid volume
- pvcreate /dev/vdb
- pvcreate /dev/vdc
- vgcreate data /dev/vdb /dev/vdc
- lvcreate -n vol1 -L 1G -m 1 data
- mkfs.xfs /dev/data/vol1
- mount /dev/data/vol1 /mnt
4. Build a rescue image and perform a recovery
Actual results:
Failure
Expected results:
No failure
Additional info:
There is no easy workaround, the admin needs to edit the diskrestore.sh file.
