Public bug reported:
Since Maverick or Natty, manual partitioning in ubiquity doesn't allow
individual changing of the mount targets any more. Before that version I could
easyly mount my existing NTFS volumes to individual folders like
/media/winboot, /media/winsystem, /media/owndata, etc. - Now I must select one
of the predefined selections like "/dos" [WTF? This is year 2011 plus I don't
know a DOS that supports NTFS natively] or "/windows". That causes two critical
problems:
1. I cannot use Ubiquity to fully configure all of my (more than 2) partitions,
because I run out of choices in the select box - so I must manually edit
/etc/fstab after installing the system...
2. I don't want to use any directorys in the "/" folder for mounting
partitions, but the partitioning tool offers only those choices - so I must
manually edit /etc/fstab after installing the system one more time, plus, I
must move and chown/chmod the folder where I want my partitions to be mounted...
This is very annoying and it needs much more time to get a running
system, also because this is a removed feature that worked before an
Ubuntu version step... That's why this is a bug and not a feature
request.
