Bug Description

Installing from latest Disco daily image, Ubiquity crashes when installing Grub in the installed system. Unsure if related to my filesystem layout, which Ubiquity does not natively support.

/dev/sdc2 ext4 /boot
/dev/sdc3 and /dev/sdd1 btrfs (-d raid0) /
/dev/sdc4 swap

In order to install to a raid0 btrfs set, I had to manually create the partition with mkfs.btrfs and tell Ubiquity not to format the partition.

Yep, looks like Ubiquity really hates BTRFS raid. Reinstalling with a single non-raid BTRFS partition (which I plan to later convert to raid0) works just fine.
