It didn't really make sense to me either but it did work. I had tried restarting the installation 3 or 4 times before I changed the mount point. The moment it was not top-level it worked. Maybe it was a coincidence though. Only the NTFS partition was affected by this behavior.
This is not same Ubuntu forum post that led me to the workaround (I looked but could not find it) but I believe it describes the same problem and "solution": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596682 While looking for the original post, I also found some other people perhaps having the same issue. Maybe they could be asked to try the workaround to see if it makes a difference. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=810195 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801398 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=949558 Although, the posts are quite old now. -- Installer couldn't mount NTFS partitions. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
