Yeah, I know. I discussed this with Emmet on IRC although apparently wasn't particularly clear in my comment.
In fact, on further testing I see that a stray & introduced during the parted 2.1 merge means that we're writing out some basically completely random memory (well, within libparted's heap, but that's about as far as it goes) as the synced MBR! Removing that makes things rather happier. I'll make every effort to get at least this part fixed in beta-1. -- automatic partitioning broken on Intel Macs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
