[Bug 557388] Re: Ubiquity crashes over recipe that leads to "Missing filesystem.size."

[Colin Watson]

Reopening.  We should really provide fallback code here; it wouldn't
hurt us to be a bit slower in cases where derivatives have forgotten to
create this file rather than crashing.

My naive search has found 17 bugs matching this symptom.  I'm pretty
sure there are more as I haven't looked inside tarball attachments and
the like.

Title:
  Ubiquity crashes over recipe that leads to "Missing filesystem.size."

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I'm having trouble getting a preseed to work with the new
  installer I believe the partition recipe is failing. It used to
  work on 9.04, now I get a "Missing filesystem.size." traceback from
  ubiquity (line 664).

  Here is the recipe :

  #  boot-root-home ::
  #    128 512 256 ext2
  #        $defaultignore{ }
  #        method{ format }
  #        format{ }
  #        use_filesystem{ }
  #        filesystem{ ext2 }
  #        mountpoint{ /boot }
  #        options/relatime{ relatime } .
  #    .
  #    500 4000 20000 $default_filesystem
  #        $lvmok{ }
  #        method{ format }
  #        format{ }
  #        use_filesystem{ }
  #        $default_filesystem{ }
  #        mountpoint{ / }
  #        options/relatime{ relatime } .
  #    .
  #    96 512 300% linux-swap
  #        $lvmok{ }
  #        method{ swap }
  #        format{ } .
  #    .
  #    100 10000 -1 $default_filesystem 
  #        $lvmok{ }
  #        method{ format }
  #        format{ }
  #        use_filesystem{ }
  #        $default_filesystem{ }
  #        mountpoint{ /home }
  #        options/relatime{ relatime } .

  
  Is it a bug or am I coding the preseed wrong ?

  If my preseed is wrong can you direct me towards uptodate
  documentation ?
