Set to Ubiquity as no more specific package for partitioner exists:
Possibly ubiquity-frontend-gtk?

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  - Netboot install using PXE, Ubuntu 12.04 image obtained from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
  - md5sum of image is ad0d0feb7c31b520151b95242463f990 
  - Boot the machine via PXE, select "Install" from PXE menu. What follows are the exact selections during setup:

  - Select a language: English
  - Select your location: Other / Europe / Germany
  - Configure locales: United States - en_US.UTF-8
  - Configure the keyboard: Detect keyboard layout => Yes => de:nodeadkeys
  - Configure the network - Primary network interface: eth0 (onboard, 82579V), DHCP worked
  - Configure the network - Hostname: server
  - Choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive: mirror country - Germany, mirror - de.archive.ubuntu.com, proxy - <empty>
  - Setup users and passwords: Full name / user name for new user: benjamin, encrypt home directory: no
  - Configure the clock - timezone: Europe/Berlin
  - Partition disks - manual:
  		sda:
  			new partition table: yes
  			parititions sorted by position on disk:
  				partition 1 - 1073741824 B (= 1GB, specified byte-size to guarantee proper sector alignment), Name: <empty>, Use as: Reserved BIOS boot area, Bootable flag: off
  				partition 2 - 4294967296 B (= 4GB, specified byte-size to guarantee proper sector alignment). Name: <empty>, Use as: Physical Volume for raid, Bootable flag: off
  				partition 3 - specify "max" as size to use the remaining space, Name: <empty>, Use as: Physical Volume for raid, Bootable flag: off

  		sdb:
  			new partition table: yes
  			parititions sorted by position on disk:
  				partition 1 - 1073741824 B (= 1GB, specified byte-size to guarantee proper sector alignment), Name: <empty>, Use as: Reserved BIOS boot area, Bootable flag: off
  				partition 2 - 4294967296 B (= 4GB, specified byte-size to guarantee proper sector alignment). Name: <empty>, Use as: Physical Volume for raid, Bootable flag: off
  				partition 3 - specify "max" as size to use the remaining space, Name: <empty>, Use as: Physical Volume for raid, Bootable flag: off

  		sdc:
  			new partition table: yes
  			parititions sorted by position on disk:
  				partition 1 - 1073741824 B (= 1GB, specified byte-size to guarantee proper sector alignment), Name: <empty>, Use as: Reserved BIOS boot area, Bootable flag: off
  				partition 2 - 4294967296 B (= 4GB, specified byte-size to guarantee proper sector alignment). Name: <empty>, Use as: Physical Volume for raid, Bootable flag: off
  				partition 3 - specify "max" as size to use the remaining space, Name: <empty>, Use as: Physical Volume for raid, Bootable flag: off

  		select "Configure software RAID":
  			Create MD device - RAID1, active devices: 3, spare devices: 0, using the 4GB disks: sda2, sdb2, sdc2
  			Create MD device - RAID5, active devices: 3, spare devices: 0, using the 3TB disks: sda3, sdb3, sdc3

  	back to partitioning menu, now configure the raid devices' usage:
  		under "RAID1 device #0 (4GB)" select part "#1 4.0GB":
  				use as: ext3, mount point: /boot, mount options: noatime, label: boot, reserved block: 5%, typical usage: standard

  		RAID5 device #1, configure "#1 6.0TB":
  				use as: physical volume for encryption,
  				
  				encryption parameters - leave those at default if you are no mathematician: 
  					encryption method: device-mapper (dm-crypt), encryption: aes, key size: 256, iv algorithm: cbc-essiv:sha256, encryption key: passphrase, erasa data: NO if disks were randomized before, YES otherwise

  	select "Configure encrypted volumes:"
  			select "Create encrypted volumes" - devices to encrypt: /dev/md1
  			now select "Finish" and enter the passphrase when asked

  
  	back to the partitioning menu again:
  		Now notice the follwoing bug in the partitioner: the ext3 raid device for "/boot" is NOT marked as being used for "/boot" anymore!
  		- correct its parameters, now you must also set "Format the partition: yes" because it was formatted before when we first configured it and we want it to be clean.
