I wrote: Obviously the installer cannot do very much if mkfs.ext4 never completes.
And I intended to write: So the bug must be in e2fsprogs (or even in the kernel) However, thinking one more time I don't think either of those statements is necessarily true. The output of mkfs is somehow redirected to the installer GUI (ncurses in my case). So I guess this redirection could cause a deadlock, such that mkfs waits forever to write some output to the installer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1447600 Title: 15.04 installer hangs in partitioner during something else To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1447600/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
