What were you trying to do that didn't work?

When a device contains a "GPT" label but no actual partition, even with the "-y" option, pvcreate fails to initialize the device.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

# rpm -q lvm2

lvm2-2.03.21-3.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to reproduce

1. Create GPT label on disk.
2.  Try to initialize the device as PV with pvcreate -f .
3.  

Expected results

If the device has no actual partitions on it, then using the "-f" option to pvcreate should remove the gpt label from the disk.

Actual results

pvcreate fails with below error when disk has GPT label.

# parted /dev/sda mklabel gpt 
# pvcreate -f /dev/sda 
  Devices file /dev/sda is excluded: device is partitioned.
  Cannot use /dev/sda: device is partitioned
# wipefs /dev/sda 
DEVICE OFFSET     TYPE UUID LABEL
sda    0x200      gpt       
sda    0x7ffffe00 gpt       
sda    0x1fe      PMBR  

The behavior should be same as "MDSOS" label.

# parted /dev/sda mklabel msdos
# wipefs /dev/sda 
DEVICE OFFSET TYPE UUID LABEL
sda    0x1fe  dos     
# pvcreate -f /dev/sda 
  Wiping dos signature on /dev/sda.
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created.
