** Description changed: Binary package hint: base-files The installer partitioning tool does not allocate full extended space, - meaning, - for example + 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 + let say 1:p:/boot 100M 2:p:swap 10Gb 3:p:/ 20GB - (4):-5:/var/log 10 GB + (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... + creating fake logical partition and delete afterwards , editing afterwards is very hard to do anything without loosing data...
