Improper allocation of persistent filesystem

[Zerocool3001]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

When creating a persistent usb slider bar for selecting "storage space for files and settings" does not allocate space to filesystem. For instance, on a 1GB usb stick, setting the slider to the maximum (~245mb) gives 50mb of free space in home directory upon reboot. Setting the slider to the minimum (~128mb) gives 11mb of free space in home directory. Free space (at least in the latter case) appears allocated only to /tmp.

This error causes not only malfunction of apps (run out of space), but it also does not allow for saving files, or upgrading the system. For further details, contact me.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes to usb-creator since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu release (10.04). If you can still reproduce this issue with usb-creator 0.2.22, we would appreciate if you could explain the steps taken, the expected result and the actual result. Creating a new updated bug by running "ubuntu-bug usb-creator" would be helpful.
