There were two md volumes: one was an existing PV; one had been used an
existing ext4 filesystem natively, and was neither partitioned nor a PV.
The one which was ext4 did nothing when I tried to partition it (by
clicking the "Edit..." button). The one which was a PV gave an error
when I tried to edit it (fair enough). But then after I removed all the
LVs and the VG, clicking "Edit..." on that one no longer gave an error,
but it just did nothing.
