Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu on the full disk on a VM
2. Install Ubuntu on the same machine and choose the option of automatic resizing
3. Install Ubuntu a third time and choose to Erase and install.
The partition table shows 2 empty entries:
I get a warning:
Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary.
DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.
And this is the stdout:
Disk /dev/sda: 1614 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
