** Description changed: 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 unallocated space 200GB you cannot use the 200GB after install only with deleting and recreating partitions with fdisk and you will lose data have to rewrite fstab etc... 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 , editing afterwards is very hard to do anything without loosing data... + Other problem related to the partitioner: + if set 100MB for the first partition it causes "Partition not end on cylinder boundary" warning + + Best Regards Udo Attila Fischer ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: base-files 5.0.0ubuntu15 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-19.28-server 2.6.32.10+drm33.1 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-19-server x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Apr 12 15:53:59 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta amd64 (20100406.1) ProcEnviron: LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: base-files
