Bug Description

LM10 x64, CD
verified proper MD5
properly burnt CD (CD integrity test passed)

Installed to hard drive with existing good partitions,
1 home [ext3]
2 [ext3] for LM10
3 [ext3]
4 ext
5 [fat32]

Manually selected partitions as mount points
1 /home [format NO]
2 / [format YES]
4 /data [format NO]

Mint installer did not give alert that it was formating partition 5, it did quickly scroll text that it was formating to ext3 despite format was NO

I will provide installer log when I can

We don't use the upstream bug tracker slot for ubiquity - we use the package in Ubuntu instead. Moving this bug there.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 701458

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
