rsync: [receiver] write failed on "/target/usr/bin/snapshot": No space left on device (28)

The installation fails when attempting to install Ubuntu 24.04 from the Live installer onto a new 4TB hard drive.
Hopefully the debug information which was sent by the 'sudo ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop-bootstap' utility provided more information.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you provide details on the partitioning choice? The log suggests the issue is

rsync: [receiver] write failed on "/target/usr/bin/snapshot": No space left on device (28)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

According to the log the disk partioning was

>>> Created a new GPT disklabel (GUID: 4226168C-1FEF-4141-84F7-E06616B1B982).
/dev/sda1: Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 477 MiB.
/dev/sda2: Created a new partition 2 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 191 MiB.
/dev/sda3: Created a new partition 3 of type 'EFI System' and of size 1 GiB.
/dev/sda4: Created a new partition 4 of type 'Linux swap' and of size 954 MiB.
/dev/sda5: Created a new partition 5 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 3.6 TiB.
/dev/sda6: Done.

and the installer tried to install to /dev/sda2 it seems?

Did you do that through manual partioning?

It feels like the installer should have checked that upfront and not allowed to go further...
