Title:
  Intrepid Live CD - Partition Fail - Resize operation failure

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I tried to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 from an Alternate CD and then install
  Ubuntu 8.10 Beta from a Live CD. The 8.10 CD boots correctly, but at
  Step 4 of 7 (Prepare disk space) I have found a few things that
  surprised me.

  I selected
  Guided - resize SCSI3 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) and use free space

  I would expect that when I resize the drive an actual percentage
  change happens in the "After section" for "/dev/sda1" "/dev/sda5" and
  "Ubuntu 8.10" except Ubuntu 8.10 has a negative number (eg. -34%) when
  the bar right below it says it is using up 61% of the drive! Very
  confusing.

  After sliding the partition line to create a dual boot Hardy/Intrepid
  system the partitioner gets half way into resizing the partition when
  it pooches out and gives the following error:

  Resize operation failure
  An error occurred while writing changes to the storage devices.
  The resize operation has been aborted.

  I highly recommend that more testing be made on the partitioner in
  Intrepid, otherwise simply bring back this step from Hardy. New
  graphics are nice but at this stage functionality is key.
