Comment 10 for bug 669459

Debian Squeeze now has this behaviour too.
What actually happens is that the lower bound of the extended container,
which is based on a cylinder boundary when created with eCOmStation's (OS/2) LVM disktool,
is moved upwards to a MiB boundary by the Debian Squeeze / Ubuntu 10.04+ installation process.

This causes the eComStation Logical Volume Management system to fail,
as it expects the extended container to start on a cylinder boundary.

It would be very neighbourly if the Linux people would respect eComStations disk-layout
and not touch the extended container.

Since the extended container can potentially contain other bootable operating systems,
this Linux installer behaviour could be considered quite anti-social, since it has no business
messing with the extended container.

There already exists a company that messes with parts of the disk it does not own for
more that decades.

Please don't duplicate this behaviour.
