Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Jaunty alpha3 amd64 desktop candidate.

Ubiquity seems to be creating a 120Mb / filesystem (as reported by df on /target) on a partition which should be 10Gb (and is reported as such by gparted). This occurs regardless of whether or not the filesystem is formatted as ext3 or ext4; I haven't yet tried others. Removing all the partitions and adding them again does not fix this.

Obviously this results in the install erroring out with an out of space error.

This is essentially also due to bug 317709: because libparted doesn't tell the kernel to reload the partition table, the device has the wrong size.

(I spotted a couple of other errors in your syslog which I'll fix in partman-target, but I don't think they are substantially related to this bug.)
