BTRFS is always full formatted

[EricDHH]

Ubuntu 13.04 amd64 and i386

I found this on all 3 computers in both versions.

Download the iso of 13.04 desktop amd64/i386
Build a usb key with startup media writer

Boot the computer with it, forward to gparted

Select own configuration
Set existing /home to btrfs and _no_ format, check the checkmark to be _not_ set

Go forward with the installation, reboot and tata the /home was formatted and is empty. This is a weapon of mass destruction for all people who forgot to backup before the ugrade.

It does not happen in Trusty.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jochen Schroeder (cyco)]

This just happened to my on Trusty Beta and killed my home partition. I used to do this routinely on all my systems and it has never been a problem before.
