Bug Description
Yesterday I installed Mint Mate from a DVD from a newsmagazin.
There are two drives in the PC. One is a SSD the other a normal HDD.
I installed / in /dev/sdb5 (SSD)
and /home on /dev/sda9 (HDD)
The other partitions I added as partitions to be mounted after install. I checked to format only the root partition. (sdb5)
All other partitiontypes where double checked an chosen correctly according to the given format. (fat32, NTFS, ext4, swap)
Mount points were chosen according to their path -> /dev/sda1 I wanted to be mountpoint /dev/sda1 and so on - which became my problem I think)
There was a funny message stating that all resizing could not be undone. (What resizing???) I clicked on "back" and all seemed fine.
The installation began. After a few secs the installation took longer than expected and I checked what is going on. I noticed a lot hard disk activity. (I clicked on the triangle in the down left corner of the installation window.
There it said: "Cleaning conflicting files of partition" all partitions were shown of /dev/sda and later /dev/sdb)
After installation I noticed, that *all neighbour partitions were emptied!!!* All. Completely empty. But the partitions are still there. The installation partitions are working and filled. It even wiped off my windows installation (sda1). Bootloader was none installed. (Normally it should have mounted all my partitions into the system. Install a bootloader and listing all my Systems which. (Windows 7, My trusty Mint Mate 18 and My Kubuntu 14.04)
