Public bug reported:
On: jaunty alpha 6+ daily dated 20/21 Mar 2009:
usb-creator creates incorrect free, persistent space; the space is
assigned to /cdrom, not to /
Details: on a 8GB USB stick, at the start of installation/creation of the live
USB stick, I've moved the free space slider completely to the right, assigning
7.2 GB to the persistent, free space. However, after booting from the newly
created USB-stick, the result of "bf -BM" is this:
rootfs 497M 278M 220M 56% /
/dev/sdb1 7649M 702M 6948M 10% /cdrom
So, almost all free space is give to /cdrom, not to /
Using this method on Ubunt 8.10, everything goes OK.
Logging below:
1) "df -BM" afte booting off the USB-stick
2) the CLI output of the creation/installation.
