Bug Description

To reproduce on a system with 3 disks in uefi bios of h97m pro4 sleect to install lubuntu 329 amd64 for entire disc over a btrfs and xfs partition that previously had opensuse 13.2 installed. Then select erase entire disk and install lubuntu. It select /dev/sdc which is an old hard drive given to me by a lug memeber. The installer will try to create an ext4 partition and then a swap partion on this hard disc. It will then fail and nothing appears to be happening in syslog if a do a tail -f.

Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release: 15.04

I expected ubiquity to install to the entire disc similar how I had a succesful isntall with manual partitioning a few minustes earlier.
Instead the isntaller seems to hang after creating the entire disc pariton.
