Some comments seem to indicate that the problem is due to alignment, and some due to ncq. If it is an alignment issue that should be fixed since partitions are now alined to 1 MiB by default. If it is an ncq issue, then it's not a bug in parted, but a hardware defect that may be worked around wit

This looks like the drive is rejecting IO requests that are not 4kb aligned, which causes the journal to fail into read only mode. Can you post the output of the following 3 commands: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda sudo dd bs=512 count=1 iflag=direct of=/dev/null if=/dev/sda sudo dd bs=512 count=1 iflag

OK... problem solved (at least, sort of...) the installation failure is entirely to do with the ext4 file system. using ext3 gives no problems whatsoever. this is irrespective of whether or not the ssd is correctly balanced. the correct balancing for a 128k erase block ssd (most ssd but not ocz)

The size difference is actually a red herring, and nothing to do with this bug. GParted shows sizes in binary units (note the "i" in "GiB" after the number) - a GiB is 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes. The installer's partitioner, partman, shows sizes in decimal units (GB) - a GB here is 1000 * 1000 * 1000

It does sort of look like an alignment issue (and the fact that LVM makes it work is very suggestive of this), but I agree that it's surprising that that would make it not work at all. I don't have a quick answer for you, but since this is important for performance on other SSDs anyway I hope that

have just spent most of today on the phone to Crucial support. Apprently the 256gb SDD drive does only have 238.47gb of usable space... so, therefore, my unit is fine. What I'm guessing is that the installer disks are trying to partition to the declared 256.1gb and so are crashing when unable to
