Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Using a daily (2010-03-15) lucid amd64 server install, the guided 'use
whole disk with LVM' partitioning scheme, I was left with a 104Gb root
partition on a 146Gb disk. This seems somewhat less than ideal.
There appears to be at least two problems:

 a) there's a 16Gb "hole" that's been left at the front of the disk
 b) the swap partition is 12Gb

I've attached the partman log, the other installer logs can be found
at http://people.canonical.com/~james/nx/loquat/
