Bug Description
When installing ubuntu 17.10 beta 2, from the desktop ISO, on virtualbox with a 10GB disk and 8GB memory:
* select 'erase disk' during install
* check LVM checkbox
* click next
The installer will now prompt that the root partition is too small, because it allocated about 7GB for the swap partition, not leaving enough for the root partition.
Clicking back from here drops you in the partition editor, however there appears to be no way to resize or delete any of the LVM partitions.
At this point, all one can do to install is to go back to the screen with the erase disk/lvm options, uncheck lvm, and then it will create a single root partition that fills the whole disk so that the installer can continue.
