Hi again, I found the problem :-) A program tested before ubiquity left cruft in /etc/mtab, which was not seen by df, and not affecting other terminal window commands (umount and swapoff), but it was affecting ubiquity. This is a very special case. Running various programs, and checking that /etc/mtab is clean (matching the output of df), makes it possible to install into this same computer with a USB 3 HDD, as well as installing into another computer's internal HDD http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2NVM_DVI/ So we can give bug #1373365 very low priority.
