[Bug 805822] Re: manual partitioning in ubiquity doesn't allow individual changing of mount targets any more

[Brendan Donegan]

Confirming this is the case. I get the feeling there was probably a good
reason for this change so will be interesting to hear the developers
response.

Title:
  manual partitioning in ubiquity doesn't allow individual changing of
  mount targets any more

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since Maverick or Natty, manual partitioning in ubiquity doesn't allow individual changing of the mount targets any more. Before that version I could easyly mount my existing NTFS volumes to individual folders like /media/winboot, /media/winsystem, /media/owndata, etc. - Now I must select one of the predefined selections like "/dos" [WTF? This is year 2011 plus I don't know a DOS that supports NTFS natively] or "/windows". That causes two critical problems:
  1. I cannot use Ubiquity to fully configure all of my (more than 2) partitions, because I run out of choices in the select box - so I must manually edit /etc/fstab after installing the system...
  2. I don't want to use any directorys in the "/" folder for mounting partitions, but the partitioning tool offers only those choices - so I must manually edit /etc/fstab after installing the system one more time, plus, I must move and chown/chmod the folder where I want my partitions to be mounted...

  This is very annoying and it needs much more time to get a running
  system, also because this is a removed feature that worked before an
  Ubuntu version step... That's why this is a bug and not a feature
  request.
