[Bug 1261745] [NEW] Cannot create JFS partition

[Dan Chapman]

Public bug reported:

Found while running daily autopilot ubiquity iso tests.

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Ubiquity/view/Lubuntu/job
/ubiquity_ap-lubuntu_devel_daily-
test_custom_install/ARCH=amd64,label=rabisu/lastCompletedBuild/testReport/ubiquity_autopilot_tests.tests.test_custom_install/CustomInstallTestCase/test_custom_install/

When running the tests locally it turns out this is actually a error
when creating a JFS partition (see attached screenshot)

Steps to reproduce

1) branch lp:ubiquity
2) make sure qemu and bsdtar are installed and have a daily lubuntu iso
3) from dir ./ubiquity/autopilot/ubiquity-autopilot-runner execute using the configfile attached to this bug

    ./run-ubiquity-test -T ~/path/to/debug_config.cfg --test
ubiquity_autopilot_tests.tests.test_custom_install ~/path/to/trusty-
desktop.iso

4) test artifacts are stored in /tmp/ubiquity.tests

If you want additional artifacts or additional autopilot options or even
stop the VM shutting down for debugging you can change the config file
accordingly

You can also use the --sdl param if you want to view the desktop. All
other test runner info can be found in the README if needed

I will also attach the autopilot.log file that shows the app snapshot is
empty, see 14.18 time interval

If any other info is needed contact myself or jibel
