Comment 10 for bug 1361951

I have not found a reliable way to reproduce this - sometimes the reformatting proceeds as expected and sometimes it just never seems to proceed beyond displaying "Creating ext4 filesystem for / in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sda) ...........". I did poke around a bit after the most recent freeze and someone might be able to see something at the end of the partman log:
