…point This PR fixes a critical issue where the action causes root filesystem exhaustion on GitHub runners that don't have `/mnt` as a separate mount point. On some GitHub runners, `/mnt` is not a separate filesystem but just a directory on the root partition. The current implementation blindly creates two large LVM physical volumes: 1. `/pv.img` on the root filesystem 2. `/mnt/tmp-pv.img` which also ends up on the root filesystem
