This still happens in 14.04 beta2 on a virtualbox (4.3.10) install, using a dynamically allocated VDI format virtual disk (size of disk doesn't appear to matter).

Before installing (just using the live image), sudo parted -l shows details for /dev/sr0, but for the drive I'm planning to install to, its just "Error: /dev/sda: unrecognized disk label".

After install, I see:
Model: ATA VBOX HARDDISK (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 19.3GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

Is this bug still valid?

I am asking because this is dated over a year old...
