Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: base-files
The installer partitioning tool does not allocate full extended space,
meaning,
for example
when creating 3 primary and 1 logical partition, then the remaining
space cannot be used afterwards ( or only with lot of work)
let say
1:p:/boot 100M
2:p:swap 10Gb
3:p:/ 20GB
(4):-5:/var/log 10 GB
unalocated space 200GB
you cannot use the 200GB after install only with deleting and recreating
partitions with fdisk.
Behavior should be one of the following
- allocating the remaining space to extended and creating a logical volume with
the given size
- able to create the extended volume with given parameters and then only be
able to create logical volumes
- ask if the whole remaining space should be allocated to the extended
partition or not
workaround:
creating fake logical partition and delete afterwards or delete partitions
create it new with the good parameters and hoping having all numbers right and
not loosing data...

installer partitioner does not allocate the full remaining free space, means it
is hard to use unused space afterwards
