Comment 11 for bug 2059907

Why struggle to understand why the partition on the target drive is mounted? Maybe because the target SSD is connected via USB (and not via SATA). During these tests there is no internal drive in my Toshiba, only two SSDs connected via USB, the live drive and the target drive.

In the case of these tests with my Toshiba, I am rather sure, that there is no problem due to any swap.

I made a quick test in another computer, a Dell Precision M4800 with an internal drive containing Ubuntu Jammy with a swap partition. When booting into Lubuntu Noble live in this case the root partition is not mounted, but the swap partition is connected, so I understand why you want me to swapoff.

I did not want to overwrite Ubuntu Jammy, but I could run Calamares until the partitioning page, and I can verify that in this case it was enough to run

swapoff /dev/sda2

and leave the zram swap on, and get the option to use the whole drive at the partitioning page.

In order to make installing work with various setups I suggest that Calamares should unmount and/or swapoff whatever is activated on the target drive.

But I don't think everything should be swapped off, there is a reason why Lubuntu live is using zram for swapping: to make it work with a small amount of RAM.
