Title:
  partman doesn't like new HFSX partitions

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi Colin,

  there is a problem with partman (i think) on ppc, where the manual partitioning
  cannot see the disk layout when
  there is a HFSX partition with CaseSentitive property enabled (journal makes no
  difference). parted in background
  works fine, so we think that partman gets confused somehow.

  Here is a irc talk with Ben:

  benh> ok, can you report that up ?
  fabbione> ok.. if you can get to install and reboot.. the logs will be saved in
  /var/log/debian-installer or installer
  fabbione> sure
  benh> when parted is launched on a disk formatted with that newer OS X
  fabbione> please i want that so we can fix it
  benh> it displays "Error: The partition's data region doesn't occupy the entire
  partition"
  benh> Ignore/Cancel
  fabbione> did you use HFS+ with that Casesensitive option?
  benh> I think that's what is confusing the frontend
  benh> yes
  fabbione> option -> property
  fabbione> yes i can even reproduce it here
  benh> I created an HFSX case sensitive, no journal
  benh> I think that's what is confusing parted
  fabbione> journal makes no difference in that case
  fabbione> yes
  benh> anyway, I think that message is causing the front end to go bonk
  benh> I'll try to get the logs after the install
  benh> brb (installing)
  fabbione> cool thanks
