The file system creation in partition #1 failed.

[Howard An]

Lubuntu 13.10 beta2 32bit desktop iso copied to 8GB sdcard with netbootin.
Dell xps gen2 with 2Gb ram
Fresh Installation on USB hard disk 80GB
If select btrfs as file system, a window apears with the tile of "Failed to create a file system" reading: "The file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdg) failed." with an OK button.
No error if EXT4 is selected.

I can reproduce here.

I created in Gparted:
    Partition Table in MBR (msdos), NON-EFI system
    /dev/sda1 -- 1024 MiB EXT4
    /dev/sda2 -- 20 GiB Btrfs
    /dev/sda3 -- Btrfs
    /dev/sda4 -- 4 GiB linux-swap

And then i tried to install by "Something Else" option:

1. Double click in sda1 partition, Use as: "Ext4 journaling file system", Mount Partition: /boot, check Format option, and click OK
2. Double click in sda2 partition, Use as: "Btrfs journaling file system", Mount Partition: /, check Format option, and click OK
3. Double click in sda3 partition, Use as: "Btrfs journaling file system", Mount Partition: /home, check Format option, and click OK
4. Click in Continue
5. Get an error: "The file system creation in partition #2 of SCSI5 (0,0,0) (sdg) failed."

So, take a look, the erro was in #2, which use Btrfs.

If I change to "Ext4 journaling file system" and check Format option, it installs the system.
