For the dell usecase, the expection is to "use free" or "wipe Ubuntu FOO and reinstall", meaning that only free space is used or an existing Ubuntu partition is wiped & reinstalled.
Meaning that the full device /dev/sdb (the install media) is not offered for install target. The only time we do support wiping and installing ont hte full /dev/sdb which we booted from, is when casper was booted with toram option. In which case yes, it's expected to wipe the disk one booted from. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845571 Title: ubiquity offers installation media as an install target To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/1845571/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
