Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
I'm doing a test install of gutsy d-i i386 20071009.1 on a few-years-old laptop with a 40G hard disk.
I have selected "use whole disk with LVM and encryption". Currently the system is reporting that it is "Erasing data on SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #5 (sda)". It's about 44% complete after about an hour.
This laptop normally has adequate performance for installation and use. Is it really necessary for the install to read/write data to the whole disk ?
