Jaunty: Install (auto-resize) fails to create ext3 file system in parition #6

[Colin Ian King]

Summary: ubiquity - creating ext3 file system failed.

Installed from LiveCD, doing auto-resize with a 50/50 disk resize. Resize succeeded but then I got an error creating the ext3 file system in partition #6.

Installed OEM desktop as per instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/LiveCDInstall after an OEM installation.

I've double checked that this was not a drive or media error - no errors from dmesg and I also retested with a different hard disk installed and I get the same error message,.

Attached is a photo of the error message.
